Why breathability depends on water repellency…

Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to become sweaty and wet on the inside when used in damp or wet conditions. 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®.

Waterproof clothing needs to be breathable…

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-in other words, it must “breathe”-otherwise our sweat cannot evaporate, causing us to overheat and get wet from condensation. Additionally, if the outer fabric of your garment absorbs water and becomes saturated, its breathability will be reduced, causing you to feel clammy and wet.
Nikwax TX.Direct® adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which prevents water absorption while maintaining breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Breathable waterproof clothing is for active, outdoor people…

Anyone who is active outdoors in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof clothing. Whether you’re a mountaineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outdoors as a farmer or surveyor, you’ll need good rain gear.

Use Nikwax TX.Direct® when your rain gear absorbs water…

Your rain gear might be soaking up water simply because it’s dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if it’s fairly new or has recently been re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just by cleaning it. However, once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you’ll need to apply DWR using Nikwax TX.Direct®, after first cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®.

Breathable rain gear needs Nikwax TX.Direct® to maintain performance…

Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and contain fluorocarbons. Aerosol products are flammable. Fluorocarbons pose a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term health of the consumer.
Nikwax TX.Direct® is a safe product to use on breathable waterproof fabrics. It is water-based, non-flammable, contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and is fluorocarbon-free. Nikwax TX.Direct® has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof clothing, providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) while maintaining breathability. Nikwax TX.Direct® requires no heat to develop its DWR, so it is not necessary to use a tumble dryer to achieve the best results. As garments with taped seams age, the tape’s adhesion weakens, becoming more fragile and susceptible to heat, so it is best to avoid tumble drying.

Proper cleaning can be just as important as waterproofing…

Using the right cleaning product is just as important as using the right waterproofing product. Conventional detergents leave behind a thin, water-absorbent film on fabrics, 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.

How Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In protects…

Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In is the market leader. It is quick and easy to apply in a washing machine, and its highly durable water repellency (DWR) develops during air drying. The washing machine application ensures that the treatment penetrates the entire garment, treating seams, tapes, and cords as well as the fabric. Additionally, since tumble drying is not required, this saves energy and protects more delicate, 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 and maintaining breathability.

Like all Nikwax products, TX.Direct® is safe to use…

Nikwax takes great care to minimize the impact of Nikwax products on the environment and on you, the consumer. Nikwax waterproofing products are water-based, non-aerosol, non-flammable, non-hazardous, and environmentally friendly. They contain no harmful solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and are completely free of fluorocarbons (which have been shown to persist in the environment and have been linked to serious health issues).
