NIKWAX TX Direct Spray-On Waterproofing

**Best for older garments that are no longer waterproof**

Are your garments soaking up water instead of repelling it?

Your raingear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it withNikwax Tech Wash®, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the exterior of your garment will be revitalized just from cleaning. But, once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR, usingNikwax TX.Direct®, after cleaning first withNikwax Tech Wash®.

Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On is easy and quick to apply, and its highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) develops on air drying. The need for tumble drying is removed, this saves energy and protects more vulnerable, older, garments from heat. Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability.
The spray-on application allows for direct treatment of areas which require it most (e.g. elbows and seams on jackets) and will not compromise the properties of internal wicking liners.

You don’t need to re-waterproof every time you clean.

Regular cleaning will enhance the performance of your gear. With regular cleaning, you should be able to clean your gear 5-6 times with Nikwax Tech Wash before it requires re-waterproofing. When Nikwax Tech Wash® alone does not revitalize the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your gear (e.g. water does not bead on the fabric surface) it’s time to re-waterproof using the appropriate Nikwax waterproofer such as Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On®.
