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.

Remove all detergent residue from the washing machine detergent compartment
Place a maximum of 2 clean garments in the washing machine

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 other such 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.

Used this product on a Northbend DWR jacket that had started to get soaked. Completely restores water repellency if you follow proper procedure - either use the techwash, or, if using regular detergent, do a double or triple wash to get the detergent out of the pores. Also used the Nikwax Polycotton/cotton treatment to waterproof the Sarma M59 fishtail parka, worked great. Some good products.
