Nikwax TX-Direct Spray-On

Nikwax TX-Direct Spray-On description

Nikwax TX Direct Spray-On treatment restores durable water repellency (DWR) for waterproof/breathable fabrics such as Gore-Tex, Ultrex, and Entrant. Washing and using fabrics can make them begin to absorb water or "wet out". Nikwax TX Direct completely restores surface water-repellency which enhances breathability. Nikwax TX Direct lasts several washings and does not need to be reapplied after every wash like other treatments. 5 fl. oz. (150 ml)

Bottom Line: No need to throw out that Gore-Tex shell because you're getting soggy when you ski. Simply retreat it with TX Direct Spray-On, and you'll be dry again.

Wash that coat! Dirt is your water proofer's worst enemy. Your outfit will last longer and perform better if you wash it often. Wash with Nik wax tech wash then follow up with this spray on. I have used this product many times with great results. I usually end up spraying and then rubbing the jacket to get an even covering, then throwing it in the dryer on a low heat.

I've used this on single wall tents, my gore-tex shell, foul weather gear, and spray top. It really works well bringing back the waterproof properties of your breathables. Take your time when applying, don't over do the first coat. Do your best to follow the directions and you'll be very happy!
