Lost Your Water Resistance? Reproof with Nikwax
Over time all waterproofs lose their water resistance. Do you remember when your waterproof jacket was new, the rain beaded and slid down the jacket — does it still do that? Or does it just soak in. If your waterproofs have lost their water resistance, Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In will bring back their water repellency and revive breathability.
Usage
Nikwax TX.Direct is easy to use:
- First ensure your garments are clean (Nikwax Tech Wash is recommended for this)
- Add a maximum of 2 garments to your washing machine
- Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser
- Use 100ml per garment
- Run a 30°C synthetic cycle and slow spin
Features
- The wash-in proofer is designed for synthetic fabrics with no lining, including 3-layer garments
- Wash-in treatment completely immerses garments, assuring that no areas are missed
- Reduces the water-absorbency of the outer fabric, optimising breathability
- Heals micro-cracks by sealing leaky areas
- Lasts several washes
- Safe on GORE-TEX, Ultrex and Entrant and all other membrane fabrics
- 1 litre bottle
Reviews were really positive on the Cotswold Outdoor site at the time, with reviewers saying things like “Just the product you need to keep those favourite jackets really performing for a while longer,” and “my waterproofs are waterproof once more!”
