Cleaning and re-waterproofing your rain jacket and other waterproof-breathable outdoor clothing will ensure it performs its best. Dirt, oil, and even household detergents will leave behind residues that attract water to the outside of your jacket. This will cause your jacket to "wet out" meaning it will absorb water. When the exterior of your jacket is saturated, it means that moisture vapor from the inside (your sweat) cannot escape, and you will get wet from within!

By cleaning your rain jacket regularly with Nikwax Tech Wash, you will remove these residues, helping your jacket be waterproof again. However, the water-repellent coating on your jacket is durable, but not permanent. Over time it will wear off, especially in high abrasion areas. When this happens it is time to re-waterproof your jacket with Nikwax TX.Direct. Always be sure to clean before waterproofing!
