Solid product from a solid Canadian brand. Used it on my leather jacket and dress boots before a wet Ottawa winter and both held up great. Will be reordering for sure.

I've tried aerosol sprays before and always hated the smell. This one is water-based and odourless. Works just as well and feels much safer to use indoors. Love it.

Really happy with how it performed on my suede sneakers. Applied two light coats as instructed and after 24 hours they were perfectly protected. No discoloration at all.

I sprayed this on my nubuck boots before a rainy Calgary weekend and they stayed completely dry. Invisible finish, no stiffness — exactly what I was looking for.

Chloe F.

Used this on my leather work shoes and a canvas bag. Both came out looking the same but completely water-repellent. Great that it's PFOS and PFOA free too.
