This is great stuff! Does what it’s made for.
Polar proof works well and makes any fleece water repellent to a good standard. It seems to rejuvenate the appearance and feel too. I use it on my 15yr old berghaus fleece -and it looks almost like new. When water stops “beading” on it; reproof it. Simple.

Works
Washed my fleeces in this, some of which are shall we say not young! It brought back their water resistance shall we say. Not waterproof, but if you’re caught out and a shower happens, it certainly helps. The fleeces are all springy to touch, and I’m very pleased with it.

Works ok
Bought for dogs winter fleeces, washed them twice with this product but doesn’t make them fully waterproof, more like showerproof.

Good waterproofing is what you need to replenish to your fancy clothes. I used to wash my outdoor gears in normal detergent, but little did I know my waterproofing is gradually wearing off. Nikwax is by far the best to treat your gears, you can do it on other garments at your own risk, I don’t think it will damage or anything, but if you have the water repellent needs then give it a shot

Does add some water resistance to fleece but it certainly doesn't waterproof it (I never thought it would). More like a little extra help on damp or misty days.

Went on a rainy bike ride today with treated fleece jersey and bib tights and found the this really makes the water bead up rather than soak right in. Eventually you get wet but this lets less water soak in. Even once wet it seemed to be repelling water quite well which in turn let me warm up the water that was already on me more effectively thereby keeping me warmer. As with all their products so far, pricey but highly effective.
