Nikwax Down Wash Direct is a thoroughly safe,effectiveandenvironmentallyfriendly way of cleaning and re-proofing all of your natural down insulated clothing and equipment. Down items that are cleaned regularly with Nikwax Down Wash Direct perform better, FACT!

Clean down insulates better, breathes better, is lighter and performs longer. Normal detergents leave behind a residue that attracts dirt leading to wetting out, loss of insulation and reduced water resistance. Modern Hydrophobic down, as used by Rab, must be cleaned with Nikwax Down Wash Direct to maintain its performance.

Its not just about performance, you wouldn't wear clothing that had not been washed for months, so why wear dirty clothes doing the activities you love? Think ofwashingandre-proofing your kit like servicing your car, you (hopefully) wouldn't expect your car to keep going forever without regular servicing, look after your kit and it will look after you.

• Technical cleaner for both hydrophobic and regular down clothing and sleeping bags
• Cleans effectively, revitalises insulation and restores the water repellency of hydrophobic down
• Revives the performance of your down gear, keeping you warmer and drier
• Recommended for Nikwax Hydrophobic Down and all other down clothing and sleeping bags
