Water-Repellent spray is not just for shoes; it can also be used on the exterior surfaces of bags, backpacks, jackets, canvas and fabric items, and products like tents. Spray evenly onto the clean, dry surface of the product from a distance of approximately 20 cm, and allow it to dry for 25–30 minutes. This way, rainwater will bead up on the surface instead of soaking in.
Even if you protect your shoes on a rainy day, your bag, jacket, or camping equipment may still get wet. A single water-repellent spray can help you protect the exterior surfaces of these items as well. In this guide, we explain where and how you can use water-repellent spray on items other than shoes.

- Shoes: Suede, nubuck, leather, canvas, and fabric shoes
- Bags: Backpacks, school bags, laptop bags, canvas tote bags

How to apply water-repellent spray to a bag

For jackets and raincoats
Lay the jacket flat on a level surface or hang it on a hanger. Spray evenly, focusing on the areas most exposed to rain, such as the shoulders, sleeves, and front panel. Apply outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, and allow it to dry before wearing the jacket.
For tents and camping equipment
Before camping, set up the tent and apply water-repellent spray to its exterior surface, especially the seams and roof section. After application, allow the tent to dry completely before folding it up. You can also use it on fabric equipment such as camping chairs and tablecloths.
