Kiwi Performance vs Heavy Duty Water Repellent
performance-fabric-protector

TL;DR
Both Kiwi Heavy Duty and Performance Fabric Protector repel water effectively, but they are best suited for different types of materials.
- The Heavy Duty product is recommended for general, durable items such as tents, furniture covers, and BBQ grills.
- The Performance protector is designed for high-end technical fabrics (like Gore-Tex) and minimizes the risk of discoloration.
- The Heavy Duty formulation, due to its silicone content, may cause a slight, darker change in the color of light fabrics.
- Both products were demonstrated to be highly hydrophobic, forming a strong and effective water barrier.
