Repel vs. Aerosol Protectant Sprays:

What Sets Jason Markk Repel Apart?

Not all protectant sprays are built the same. Most aerosol sprays rely on harsh chemicals, PFAS, and propellants that aren't great for you, your shoes, or the planet. Repel was built differently — water-based, PFAS-free, and lab-tested to score a perfect 100 on the AATCC water repellency scale. Same protection. None of the compromise.

If You Care About What You Breathe In, Then Repel Is For You.

Aerosol sprays fill the room with fumes you have to hold your breath through. Repel's non-aerosol delivery system outputs a continuous
fine mist — no propellants, no VOCs, no moment where you're wondering if you should open a window. Just clean, even coverage across
every material you care about. Safe for leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, nylon, mesh, and more.

What matters is in the formula — and on the label.

Repel works before the damage happens. Apply it the night before — hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches from the material, spray evenly across the entire surface, and let it dry completely overnight. That's it. Water, stains, and mud bead straight off instead of soaking in. One application. Months of protection.

One formula. Every material. Repel is safe to use on leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, cotton, nylon, knit, woven, and mesh. From your everyday sneakers to your most prized pairs — if it can absorb liquid, Repel can protect it. Not recommended for unsealed leather or vegetable tanned leather.
