Maintaining your membrane clothing enhances the performance of your gear, keeping you warmer and drier. Recommended fabrics for this product include Gore-Tex®, Sympatex®, and othersuch waterproof materials.

Breathability Depends on Water Repellency

Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to become moist inside when used for an extended time in wet conditions. If the outer shell absorbs a lot of water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, maintaining durable water repellency (DWR) in the outer fabric of the garment is essential to ensure its functionality. DWR treatments wear off over time and need to be renewed with suitable products.

Usage

Remove all non-washable parts and clean the garment first in a separate wash using a detergent suitable for membrane clothing, such as Nikwax Tech Wash. Follow the care label instructions for washing. The garment does not need to be dried before waterproofing.

• Shake the bottle well before use
• Protect the working surface and place the clean garment on a flat surface
• Hold the bottle 15 cm / 6" away from the garment
• Apply evenly to the outer fabric
• Wait for 2 minutes, then remove excess product with a damp cloth
• Check to ensure no areas have been missed
• Estimated consumption (may vary):
  • Jacket 250 ml
  • Overall 400 ml
  • Trousers 150 ml
  • Gaiters 70 ml
• Nikwax TX.Direct® treated clothing does not need any heat treatment to develop durable water repellency (DWR)
• Air dry (check for excess product after a few minutes with a damp cloth) or tumble dry on a low setting if the laundry tag allows for such things
