Breathable waterproof clothing is for active, outdoor people
Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof clothing.
Whether you’re a mountaineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outside as a farmer or surveyor, you will need good raingear.
TX.Direct - For waterproofing rain gear
Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability.
Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax TX.Direct.
- Easy to use wash-in waterproofing for all breathable waterproof clothing
- Adds water repellency, revives breathability and reduces water absorbency without tumble drying
- Enhances the performance of your gear, keeping you warmer and drier
- Recommended for Gore-Tex, Sympatex, eVent, Nikwax Analogy and all other waterproof fabrics
Your raingear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty
First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalised just from cleaning. But, once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax TX.Direct, after cleaning first with Nikwax Tech Wash.
How to use Nikwax TX.Direct
For best results remove all non-washable parts and always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash in a separate wash cycle. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing.
- Remove all detergent build up from the detergent dispenser.
- Place a maximum of 2 clean garments in washing machine.
- Use 100ml per garment.
- Run 30°C synthetic cycle and slow spin.
