When we work hard, we sweat. The evaporating sweat cools us down, making us feel good. But when it rains, we want to avoid getting wet, so we put on waterproof clothing to protect us.

Waterproof fabric must allow moisture to pass through, allowing it to "breathe," as otherwise, our sweat will not be able to evaporate. As a result, we will overheat and become wet from condensation. Additionally, if the outer fabric of our clothing absorbs water and gets wet, its breathability will be reduced, making you feel sticky and wet.

Nikwax Tech Wash® will revive the durable hydrophobicity (DWR), preventing water absorption, maintaining breathability, and ensuring dryness and comfort.

Anyone active outdoors in humid conditions will benefit from wearing breathable, waterproof clothing. Whether you are a mountaineer or walking dogs, a farmer or a surveyor working outdoors - you will need good rain gear.

Waterproof clothing and gear can absorb water because the durable hydrophobicity (DWR) has been weakened by dirt or because they have been cleaned with conventional detergents. Dirt attracts water, and household detergents leave a water-attracting residue (hydrophilic), causing the fabric to soak when used in humid conditions.
