Yes, this product is specifically formulated to be compatible with Gore-Tex, eVent, and other waterproof-breathable membranes. It adds water repellency to the outer leather without clogging the pores that allow moisture vapor to escape.

You should reapply whenever water stops beading up on the surface of the leather. Depending on how frequently you use your gear and the conditions you encounter, this could range from every few weeks to once or twice a season.

Nikwax Waterproofing Wax is completely PFAS-free and aerosol-free. It is a water-based, non-flammable formula designed to be a safer, more environmentally conscious choice for leather care.
