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 your jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax TX.Direct®.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaterproof clothing needs to be breathable…\u003cbr\u003e“When we work hard, we sweat. The evaporation of sweat cools us down and keeps us comfortable. But, when it rains we want to avoid getting wet, so we put on waterproof outerwear to keep us dry. The waterproof fabric must allow moisture vapor to pass through it, or ‘breathe’; otherwise our sweat cannot evaporate, causing us to overheat and get wet from condensation.\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, if the outer fabric of your garment absorbs water and ‘wets out’ its breathability will be reduced, causing you to feel clammy and wet.\u003cbr\u003eNikwax TX.Direct® adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which prevents water absorption, while maintaining breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-question down\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\"\u003eUse Nikwax TX.Direct® when your raingear soaks up water…\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour raingear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning. But, once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax TX.Direct®, after cleaning first with Nikwax Tech Wash®.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning properly can be as important as waterproofing…\u003cbr\u003eUsing the right cleaning product is as important as using the right waterproofing product. Conventional detergents leave behind a thin water-absorbent film on materials, which masks their Durable Water Repellency (DWR). Therefore, always clean your waterproof garments with Nikwax Tech Wash®. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-question down\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\"\u003eHow Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In protects…\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In is the market leader. It is easy and quick to apply in a washing machine, and its highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) develops on air drying. The washing machine application ensures that the treatment goes right through the garment, treating seams, tapes and cords, as well as the fabric. Also, as the need for tumble drying is removed, this saves energy and protects more vulnerable, older, garments from heat. Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibers allowing moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining breathability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eUse Nikwax TX.Direct®Wash-In in a washing machine…\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\"\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– For best results remove all non-washable parts and always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle.
