There is another thread about Fjallraven but I thought it worth highlighting the wax options.
Their G1000 fabric needs waxed occasionally, using Greenland wax which costs around £9 for an 80gm block. You apply the wax then melt it into the fabric with a hair dryer or cool iron. The more wax the more wind and water resistant it becomes. But, you also can choose to, e.g., wax the front more as it gets the wind and rain and leave the back to breathe better.
The wax is a simple blend of paraffin wax and beeswax, approximately 90/10. I bought a kilo of paraffin and 100gm of beeswax for about £10, mixed 90/10 in a plastic box, put the box in a water bath, melted it, let it cool and a very cheap block of wax popped out. More yellow than the Greenland stuff but that's just the beeswax I had. Easy, cheap and it works.
Even the Scandinavians do it.
