When I saw this product I thought it was expensive but after washing and re proofing the coat I am delighted. You can treat your gear with Nikwax in your washing machine, by hand or by using the convenient spray-on products.

Protect the performance and breathability of your wet weather clothing with this twin pack which includes Nikwax’s renowned Tech Wash and TX. If your waterproof clothing or equipment is relatively new, or recently treated with a Nikwax waterproofer, then cleaning with Nikwax Tech Wash® will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise DWR. Dirt attracts water and household detergents leave water attracting (hydrophilic) residues, leading to fabric 'wetting out' in wet or damp conditions.Once your product is ready for collection your chosen J E James Branch will contact you via text or telephone. Please note that some assembly will be required, which we recommend be carried out by an experienced mechanic. Tech Wash is a soap-based cleaner which can be used regularly to clean clothing and equipment without damaging the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coatings. I even added to my insulated Carhartt bibs and the water just beads right off like my waterproof gear. Direct ® requires no heat to develop its DWR, so it is not necessary to use a tumble drier for best results.

Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and use fluorocarbons.We offer 10 days free cover with all new bikes purchased, provided by our insurance partner VeloLife. Prolongs Gear Life: Specially formulated to clean and maintain breathability, Tech Wash prolongs the life of your gear and optimises outdoor performance.

Works well , only down side I have found is it leaves quite a strong after smell in the washing machine .
