Fjallraven Greenland Wax - Pack of 2

  1 of 10

  Works well and easily applied with an iron. It makes the material a bit darker, giving a more agricultural look. One bar was enough for two jackets to get a decent amount of wax and I used it after washing the jackets in Nikwax Cotton Proof. Arrived quickly to the Highlands.

  Is what it says on the box. Quick delivery. Not cheap but then it’s not anywhere. Overall good buying experience.

  I guess you can't say too much about wax blocks but it is reassuring to have them ready for the autumn when I will re-wax my collection. Thank you

  Great product, just rub it on and use a hair dryer to melt it in, easy. Amazing delivery too.

  Used it to impregnate my Fjallraven trousers and dogs' coat. Easy to use and so far seems to be doing the job.

  First of all - good value for money - two of the larger blocks for 15 quid. Major point – this will not make G1000 waterproof unless you want to walk around in a straight jacket/trousers, it only makes it water resistant and even that depends on the age and condition of the fabric and the use that you put the garment to. I have used this stuff for about five years now on FR Barents trousers with marginally good results so long as you are thorough with the application process. I now first wash the garments in Techwash (soap) and then TX direct. Immediately before Greenland waxing I throw the garment into a tumble dryer (low heat) to warm it up a bit then stroking the block over the material leaves a good deposit. I place a heavy duty polythene strip beneath the layer that I am treating so that the wax doesnt bleed through to the ironing board or to the next garment layer. Make sure that you apply even coverage and get well into seams, dont forget there is cotton in the garment and it likes to wick moisture. I find that using a hair dryer is better than an iron. I always apply two coats of wax. The garment feels stiff for a while until you warm it up through wearing it. How good is it? - Immediately after waxing H20 will bead and run off undamaged material if held under a slow running cold water tap for about 5 – 10 minutes. If the material is worn it may get through in a few minutes! Out on the ground I still use a breathable liner beneath G1000 garments if the weather is inclement or the terrain is wet and I know that I will be exposed for a protracted period. Pressure points on the clothing - knees/seat/rucksack/waist belt etc can affect the wax and let H20 through. GW can also leave a dark, streaky effect on the material if your layering is uneven making the garment look dirty (if that is a concern to you). I view GW as a changeable weather, moisture ingress delay treatment and means of delaying wear on the garment as opposed to a bomb proof waterproof treatment. I have managed to get five double waxing treatments from one block.
