A little bit about Nikwax...

Nikwax have created a great range of waterproofing and cleaning products. They have a product for waterproofing or cleaning pretty much any material you have. As I have said they have waterproofing and cleaning products for pretty much any material including: soft shells, fleeces and wool, cotton & polly cotton items, down items and wax cotton items (so ideal for re-waterproofing wax jackets).

So what makes Nikwax better than the other brands out there? Well that's simple. Nikwax are the inventors of water based reproofing products. Having started business back in 1977 they have been at the edge on innovation ever since and have the most ecompassing range of waterproofing products on the market.

Easier, Safer, Drier. This is the Nikwax mantra. Here is a quick explanation of why they use this phrase:

Easier - Nikwax products are designed to work in your home washing machine, meaning they are a doddle to apply to your garments, no need to spend hours rubbing the product in. Some of their products even come in a handy spray gun making things even easier.

Safer - All Nikwax products are environmentally friendly because they use water instead of nasty solvents. No Nikwax products come in aerosol form. All of their products are also flurocarbon free, non flammable, non toxic, and expel no fumes for you technical people.

Drier - Because Nikwax is applied to your garments (or fabric) through water, it permeates the fibres of the garment ensuring its elastomer polymer coating is spread evenly through the fabric meaning the whole garment will be waterproof - yet breathable. Perfect!

Why you should clean and waterproof...

When you get a nice new waterproof jacket or anything waterproof for that matter it has Durable Waterproof Repelleny (DWR) coating already applied. Over time this coating wears out and the garment looses its water repellancy. At this stage you will be getting wet. You could either buy a new jacket, or save yourself a heap of cash and re-waterproof the item. This is where Nikwax comes in.

In the past I have found it fantastic at re-waterproofing Berghaus jackets.
