Title: Waterproofing Spray For A Backpack?
Post by: NY Yankee on June 05, 2023, 12:27:15 PM

I have a cloth hunting pack I'd like to spray so it will be water resistant in the fall. I know of Camp Dry and Scotchguard, any other recomendations?

Contractor bags or heavy duty garbage bags work well as pack liners.

What type of cloth?

Not denim nor brown duck probably some kind of plyester cotton blend. Not fleece. A soft flexible fabric with a little napp kind of like a fleece just not nearly as thick.

I like Nikwax. They are big into the camping/hiking buiz.

Nikwax is good stuff. I’ve been impressed with the performance on rain flies and rain jackets.

Yep, Nikwax.
