Fleece fabrics are made from synthetic fibers. The construction of the fabric allows air to be trapped between the fibers and warmed by body heat to provide insulation for the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWater compromises the insulating properties of fleece…\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the individual fibers of fleece cannot absorb water, it is possible for water to become trapped in the spaces between the fibers. The accumulation of water reduces the insulating properties of fleece and also causes weight gain; fleece can hold up to 50% of its weight in water!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reduces the comfort of the user causing them to feel wet and cold, but more importantly the reduction in insulation is dangerous and in severe cases can lead to hypothermia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-question down\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\"\u003eUse Nikwax PolarProof® when your fleece soaks up water…\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour fleece garment could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e, 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 PolarProof\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e, after cleaning first with Nikwax Tech Wash\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCleaning properly can be as important as waterproofing…\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\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 water repellency. Therefore, always clean your waterproof garments with Nikwax Tech Wash\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e. Remember that dirt itself works against water repellency, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-question down\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\"\u003eHow Nikwax PolarProof® protects…\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whyuse-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikwax PolarProof\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e has been specifically designed and optimized for fleece garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibers allowing moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining breathability and optimizing performance in wet weather.
