The Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofer offers an easy to use, safe, and high-performance solution for waterproofing your wet weather clothing. It effectively adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), revives breathability, and maintains the internal wicking properties of your garments.

Why Breathability Depends on Water Repellency: Breathable waterproof garments can become sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment may lose up to 70% of its breathability. To ensure comfort and performance during outdoor activities, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your jacket must be maintained. This DWR will eventually wear off and needs to be renewed with Nikwax TX.Direct.

When to Use Nikwax TX.Direct: You should use Nikwax TX.Direct when your raingear begins to soak up water. Often, garments absorb water simply because they are dirty. In such cases, first try cleaning your item with Nikwax Tech Wash. If the garment is relatively new or has been recently re-waterproofed, cleaning alone may revitalise its Durable Water Repellency (DWR). However, for thoroughly worn garments, you will need to re-apply DWR using Nikwax TX.Direct, after an initial clean with Nikwax Tech Wash.

How Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Protects: Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On is engineered for easy and quick application. Its highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) develops effectively on air drying, eliminating the need for tumble drying. This not only saves energy but also safeguards more vulnerable or older garments from potential heat damage. Specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof clothing, it applies a flexible water repellent treatment to individual fibres, allowing moisture vapour to pass through and maintaining optimal breathability.

The convenient spray-on application enables precise treatment of areas that experience the most wear, such as elbows and seams on jackets. This targeted approach ensures effective waterproofing without compromising the performance of internal wicking liners.
