Repair and Care

Gear Aid's Revivex UV Protectant shields outdoor gear from harmful UV rays. Sunlight can really damage a tent or kayak. Whether it's made of nylon fabric, plastic, rubber, or fiberglass, the sun's UV rays can break it down fast. Previously known as UV Tech, apply it to anything used outside to prevent cracks and colors from fading. This specialized formula restores gear to its original appearance by replacing lost plasticizers, rejuvenating surfaces and brightening colors. When you need sunscreen for gear, apply Revivex UV Protectant before or after sun exposure to keep it looking good. Protects: Fights sun damage and stops cracking of all types of gear including tents, kayaks, and life jackets. Conditions: Restores the color of plastic, vinyl, neoprene, rubber, nylon, and latex to keep it bright and like-new. Powerful: One small bottle can prevent fading fabrics, deteriorating rubber and discoloring fiberglass. Reduces Wear: Bring old gear back to life and add years to its overall appearance with an effective UV protectant. Multipurpose: Spray on all gear exposed to sunlight including dry suit gaskets, dive fins float tubes and waders

Safe to use on all types of footwear – including those made from leather, suede, nubuck, and fabric – this product protects without adversely affecting the breathability of shoes or boots.
