1) Make sure your bag is clean. 2) Apply Nikwax Tent & Gear Proof by spray head application or by sponge or by brush. 3) Work in evenly over the outside surface area to make the active ingredients penetrate the fabric. 4) Wait for 5 minutes and remove any surplus product with a damp cloth. 5) Drip-dry and check to ensure no surplus runs.

All TOM BIHN bags are made with fabrics that are coated on the interior with urethane for water resistance and treated on the exterior with a durable water-repellent finish. Over time these surface treatments can wear, leaving your bag and its contents more exposed to rain and snow than you might like.
Using Nikwax is a environmentally and ethically responsible way to renew the water-repellant exterior treatment. It is also recommended as an extra precaution for a new bag if you intend to use it in an extremely wet environments.
