Nikwax Tech Wash. A thoroughly safe, effective and environmentally friendly way of cleaning all your outdoor clothing. Garments that are cleaned regularly with Tech Wash perform better, FACT! Clean garments breathe better, are lighter and last longer. Normal detergents completely strip the surface water repellency from your garments leaving them wet and heavy with reduced breathability, this is known as "wetting out". Tech wash enhances the water repellency so your garments can breathe better and stay lighter.
Its not just about performance, you wouldn't wear everyday clothes that had not been washed for months, so why wear dirty clothes doing the activities you love? Think of washing and re-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.

TX Direct is designed to add water repellency to the fabric of waterproof garments. Why? Well if the face fabric of your expensive waterproof clothing gets wet, the breathable technology behind it (Gore-Tex, Event etc) cannot breath. You know what its like the first time you go out in the rain with a new jacket, the water beads up and rolls off. Then after some time this stops happening and your jacket gets all wet and heavy, it "wets out", and feels damp and clammy on the inside. TX Direct will reduce wetting out and maintain the performance of your outdoor clothing like new. Used regularly it will prolong the life of garments and enhance performance. TX Direct Wash in is not suitable for garments with wicking liners or non-machine washable items.
