Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In is a high-performance, water-based treatment designed to restore and maintain the waterproof properties of breathable membrane fabrics. The liquid wash-in format ensures maximum and even coverage across the entire surface of the garment, providing more reliable protection against moisture compared to spray treatments.
This product is ideal for maintaining hardshell, tactical, and mountaineering outerwear without moisture-wicking linings.
Suitable Materials
Recommended for use with all types of functional fabrics, including:
-
Gore-Tex®
-
Sympatex®
-
eVent®
-
Nikwax Analogy®
-
Nylon and other breathable synthetic fabrics.
Important: Use TX.Direct Wash-In for garments without thin, moisture-wicking linings (such as mesh or temperature-regulating layers). For items with wicking linings, use the spray format instead — Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Maximum Durability: The wash-in formula bonds to the fabric significantly longer and distributes more evenly than aerosol sprays.
-
Restores Performance: Renews the fabric's original Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and restores breathability (allowing the fabric to "breathe" again).
-
Extends Gear Life: Protects the membrane from premature wear and tear caused by the wetting out and contamination of the outer fabric layer.
-
Preserves Appearance: Does not alter the color, texture, or shape of the garment.
-
Safe and Eco-Friendly: Water-based formulation. It is fluorocarbon-free (PFC-free), non-flammable, safe for health, and fully biodegradable.
Directions for Use
Preparation: For best results, always clean items first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle to remove dirt and residues. There is no need to dry the garments before waterproofing — the treatment is applied to wet items. Shake well before use. Always follow the care label instructions on the garment.
