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\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWaterproof clothing needs to be breathable…\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eUse Tech Wash and TX,Direct when your waterproof clothing soaks up water\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour raingear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty.
