Nikwax Downproof (300ml)
Down is an amazing
natural fiber that has an unbeatable warmth to
weight ratio. It's compressible, resilient and
very long lasting if properly maintained. The
major drawback of using down-filled clothing is
it's inability to retain loft and insulate when
wet. To optimize the performance of your down-filled
garments: 1) clean it regularly and, 2) add the
appropriate Nikwax water-repellent finish. When
machine washing always use a front load machine-top
loading agitator machines can damage the garment.
Note: If your down garment incorporates a waterproof
breathable shell fabric, you should use Nikwax
TX-Direct Spray-On. Nikwax TX-Direct lasts several
washings and does not need to be reapplied after
every wash. TX-Direct Spray-On should be used
on these garments when you do not want to treat
the down itself. Independent lab tests indicated
that Nikwax Down Proof could slightly reduce the
breathability when used on a fabric with a microporous
laminate or coating. However, the reduction was
so slight that is would not be noticeable in the
field. If a slight loss of breathability is a
concern, use TX-Direct Spray-On.
