For cleaning outdoor equipment.

Why breathability depends on water repellency.

Breathable, water-repellent garments are most at risk of becoming sweaty and wet on the 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, you need to maintain the durable water repellent (DWR) coating on the outer fabric of the jacket to maintain comfort. Nikwax Tech Wash® restores the DWR and therefore the breathability of your garment.

Rainwear must be breathable.

When we work hard, we sweat a lot. The evaporation of sweat cools our body and makes us feel comfortable. When it rains, we want to avoid getting wet and wear water-repellent outerwear to keep us dry.

These water-repellent fabrics must allow water vapor to pass through or 'breathe', otherwise our sweat cannot evaporate, we overheat and get wet due to condensation. In addition, if the outer fabric of your garment absorbs water and becomes soaked, its breathability will be compromised, leaving you feeling clammy and wet.

Nikwax Tech Wash® restores Durable Water Repellency (DWR), prevents water absorption and maintains breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Breathable, waterproof clothing is suitable for active people who enjoy being outdoors.

Anyone who is active outdoors in damp or wet conditions benefits from breathable, water-repellent clothing. Whether you are a mountain climber or have a dog walking service, work as a farmer in the fields or are a supervisor: you need good rain gear.

Use Nikwax Tech Wash® when your rainwear and equipment absorbs water.

Your water-repellent clothing can absorb water because its durable water repellent performance (DWR) has been damaged by dirt, or because it has been cleaned with normal detergent. Dirt attracts water and household detergents also leave residues that attract water (hydrophilic residues), causing the fabric to become soaked in wet or humid conditions.

If your water-repellent clothing or equipment is still relatively new, or has recently been impregnated with a Nikwax product, cleaning with Nikwax Tech Wash® will not only remove dirt and household detergent residue, but also restore the DWR.

Make sure you use the right product for cleaning.

Normal detergents leave behind residues that attract water (hydrophilic residues) and block durable water repellent effect (DWR). This causes the material to absorb water and become soaked in substances under damp or wet conditions. Such agents should therefore be avoided when cleaning clothing and equipment with a water-repellent effect.

Products that claim to clean and waterproof at the same time generally don't clean very well and can seal in dirt.

Use Nikwax Tech Wash® to thoroughly and safely clean your water-repellent clothing and equipment and restore DWR and breathability.

You do not have to re-impregnate after every cleaning.

With regular cleaning you should be able to clean your items 5 to 6 times with Nikwax Tech Wash® before you need to impregnate them again. If Nikwax Tech Wash® alone doesn't restore the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your gear (e.g. water doesn't bead off the outside), it's ti Details - Stripped: Market-leading cleaner designed to restore the water-repellent and breathable properties of water-repellent gear to revitalize.
