About this deal

If you want to make your T-shirt waterproof, you can use the solutions listed in this guide to get the job done. Yes, there are quite a few useful methods to use, and I’ll tell you which one worked best for me.

Since you’re applying to cloth items, you shouldn’t expect an utterly waterproof item. Though the product doesn’t last as long as some others, it was still very effective in our test, causing water to bead up and stream away until it wears off. Once it does, you can simply reapply the wax. Although this detergent was primarily formulated for technical fabrics, many outdoor enthusiasts confirmed it also works for making T-shirts water repellent as well. We found that water rolled right off the treated boots and purse when testing—but do note your item won’t be fully waterproof, as nature intended—and another application is necessary after several uses. Waterproof T-shirts are not only liquid-proof but also stain-repellent. You can either buy a ready-made hydrophobic T-shirt or use a special solution to waterproof one that you already own. A great analogy we like to use is you wouldn’t wax a dirty car so you wouldn’t waterproof a dirty item,” Allen explains. “While the waterproofing is the cool part of it all because you can see the beading, people forget that cleaning is the first, most important step in the waterproofing process.”You may sometimes get dark spots due to excess wax, but that shouldn’t be a problem if you prefer a distressed look.

They actually kind of adhere to the individual fibers, like an old-fashioned telephone cord—they wrap around the fibers," says Heidi Allen, the vice president of marketing at Nikwax. "They have a little stretchiness to them." Looking good on the outside has a positive effect on how we feel on the inside. This means that buying products that have that happy impact on how we are within ourselves is a great thing to do. Fabric Guard for Outdoor Fabrics: This was one of the best-performing sprays we used. But it was also the most expensive. And it didn’t perform that much better than others to justify adding it to our list above. Still, if you’re looking to get a little spendy or want something specific for outdoor furniture, we highly recommend the 303 Fabric Guard for Outdoor Fabrics. Constructed from strong, yet soft, SEALGAIR PRO 250-G. Reinforced over high-wear areas and stretchy at bending zones, these trousers are designed for the outdoors. This method worked best for me, and it’s actually my go-to method whenever I need to make my T-shirts waterproof.

We accept the following payment methods

So, start by heating up the first half of your T-shirt using a hairdryer. Heat up the wax as well, but not too much. You want it to be soft, not liquid. If you’re concerned about changes to an item’s color or texture, spot-testing on a small area is always a good idea. Key specs – Waterproofing: Durable water repellent (10,000mm); Main material: Polyamide; Weight: 317g (men’s) 281g (women’s) Our tester especially liked that this spray had no detectable smell, and it came at an affordable cost—it really was flawless. You can buy an eco-friendly refill pouch of Performance Repel Plus for your sprayer instead of an entirely new bottle when you run out. Grangers also sells a wash-in version of this spray if you prefer that waterproofing method.

The perfect waterproofing product makes your gear feel like new—waterproof and breathable again, with no negative changes to the material. That’s precisely what Grangers Performance Repel Plus, a non-aerosol spray from the British brand, did for an older pair of rain pants that were wetting out. In fact, the waterproofing on these pants was better after applying this spray than it was before. British Olympic sailor Keith Musto developed this technical outdoor clothing brand because he was tired of getting drenched out at sea wearing sweaters and flannel trousers. The brand claims to test its products in ‘hostile environments’, and the approach is clearly working. Owners raved about the excellent fit and top-quality waterproof design. It’s no wonder it came joint second in our survey. The first thing we noted while applying the product to a pair of leather boots, which is simple with the included cotton terry applicator pad, is how soft and shiny it makes the leather. And there’s no chemical smell; this product can be applied inside since there are no fumes to worry about, and it doesn’t require spraying. After allowing the leather to dry, our tester buffed off any extra protectant left on the surface and let it sit overnight. Explore our range of waterproof fishing salopettes, expertly designed for ultimate warmth and protection during your winter fishing adventures. Offering exceptional durability and comfort, these salopettes are crafted to enhance functionality, allowing anglers to perform at their best in cold and wet conditions. Fishing Trousers and Fishing GlovesKey specs – Waterproofing: H2No Performance Standard (20,000mm); Main material: Nylon ripstop; Weight: 354g Now, apply heat to the entire surface of the T-shirt again to make sure that the wax has covered all the hard-to-reach areas. It’s time to let the T-shirt dry for a few days.

As you can see, apart from the obvious main advantage of being liquid repellent, a waterproof T-shirt is also stain-proof. Prepare for the unpredictable British weather with our fishing trousers and gloves. Our waterproof fishing trousers, paired with thermal gloves, provide comprehensive protection, keeping you dry and warm during those cold, wet angling sessions. Fishing Shorts and Fishing Bib 'n' Braces The Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On, a non-aerosol product, was designed to help your waterproof and breathable outdoor wet-weather gear, including Gore-Tex items, return to a water-resistant state. That’s certainly what it did for our tester's favorite rain shell, which before testing was wetting out—absorbing water in patches, on the sleeves especially, and becoming heavy and clammy—on rainy hikes.So, if the question “ Can you waterproof cotton?” was on your mind, the answer is ‘Yes’. Use a dedicated spray for cotton, and you’ll get the job done. At Gill Marine, we are experts in technical marine clothing and have a wide choice of high-quality shirts available. These look superb and are both comfortable and practical. The sprayer works well, so application is easy. After washing the pants, we sprayed them while they were still wet, blotted off areas where the excess product had pooled with a damp towel, and then threw them in the machine dryer on low, though you can also let your items air-dry if needed. When trying the pants again, water beaded off them instead of soaking through in the spots where it was previously wetting out, and the breathability was again excellent. This is an aerosol product, and you must take extra care not to breathe in the vapors when spraying (the bottle even recommends you don’t allow children or pets near the spray or wet items). There is also a strong chemical smell. We tested in a well-ventilated breezeway and still had to step away for a few minutes after spraying the boots each time. The scent did linger longer than on some of the other products—even after the recommended 24 to 48 hours of drying time—but it eventually faded with time and wear. Especially if you are applying to a tent, for example, you’ll want to allow some time for the item to air out before use.
