The high performance waterproofer designed to enhance performance and revitalise the breathability of waterproof clothing with wicking liners.
Easy to apply by hand, non-flammable, PFAS and aerosol-free. 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 a jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort.
When working hard, sweat is produced. The evaporation of sweat cools the body and keeps it comfortable. Waterproof fabric must allow moisture vapour to pass through it, or ‘breathe’; otherwise, sweat cannot evaporate, causing overheating and wetness from condensation. If the outer fabric absorbs water and ‘wets out’, its breathability will be reduced.
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, saving energy and protecting more vulnerable, older garments from heat. 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, such as elbows and seams on jackets, and will not compromise the properties of internal wicking liners.
Features:
- Easy to use spray-on waterproofing for all breathable waterproof clothing with wicking liners
- Adds water repellency to the areas that need it most and revives breathability without tumble drying
- Enhances the performance of gear, keeping you warmer and drier
- Recommended for Gore-Tex®, Sympatex®, eVent®, Nikwax Analogy® and all other waterproof fabrics
