PROVEN SINCE 1971
We’ve been making Water-Guard since 1971. Through trend cycles, formulation fads, and shifting industry standards, the product has kept doing its job. Boots stay dry. Tents shed rain. Jackets breathe.
We say what it does, what it’s made of, and how to use it. No marketing fog — if “silicone forms a net that repels water” is the actual answer, that’s what we say.
HOW IT WORKS
Cross-linking polymers. Plain language.
Water-Guard’s silicone formula bonds to fabric fibers and cross-links into a microscopic net. Tight enough to shut out water droplets. Open enough to let moisture vapor escape. That’s how it protects Gore-Tex, nylon, canvas, suede, and leather without blocking breathability.
One application. Full protection. No second coat, no waiting between layers. Spray it on, let it dry, get back at it.

CLEAN CHEMISTRY
PFAS-free. By nature, not by reformulation.
Water-Guard has never contained PFAS — the “forever chemicals” now under scrutiny across the outdoor industry. We didn’t need them to make waterproofing that works, and we didn’t add them.
No forever chemicals
Better for you, your family, and the places you go — without compromising performance.
Safe on technical fabrics
Works on breathable membranes, DWR-finished fabrics, and natural materials alike.
Odor-free after drying
No chemical smell. Spray it on, wear it out.
