Fabric Care
A durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is applied to the outermost surface of
waterproof/breathable clothing and equipment during manufacture.
It prevents the fabric from absorbing moisture by making water bead
up and roll off while minimizing condensation within the garment
and maximizing breathability. This finish is not permanent and must
be maintained to optimize performance.
Clean the fabric. Dirt attracts water, so clean the fabric with
Nikwax Tech Wash non-detergent cleaner. Detergents can leave water-attractive
residues that don't rinse out. They also contain agents that can
wash away water-repellent treatments. Never use liquid detergents
or fabric softeners.
Restore durable water repellency. Washing and using fabrics can
make them begin to absorb water or "wet out". Nikwax TX-Direct completely
restores durable water repellency and will last several washings
without re-applying after every wash like other treatments.
Keep the fabric clean. Once treated, keep the fabric clean with
Nikwax Tech Wash to maximize performance and extend the life of
the fabric's new water-repellent finish.
