I have pretty much lived out of my down sleeping bag for the last seven years and have had to wash it without a good down wash in the past which was the best I could under the circumstances. I was glad to see that it was offered on Zappos. The Nixwax down wash and down proof is pretty straight forward on its use. The bag smelled great when it was done and didn't have that damp down smell even...just smelled clean. The down proof gave a nice luster to the bag and it looked good as new considering the use it has seen. Very happy overall. The down proof is bottle is only enough for one wash of a 2-3 season bag if I remember correctly. I had enough of the down wash for two washings. So, this combo is more for a one time wash on a 2-3 season bag.

Really great stuff; works like a charm - These two worked wonders. I wouldn't be sure how they would work alone since I used them together (washed jacket with down wash, then with down proof, then dried the jacket in the dryer). Be sure to follow instructions exactly. My jacket is fluffy, clean (mysterious dirt and stains disappeared) and now rain water will "bead" off of it. Doesn't make the item waterproof, just a good water resistance.
