TX.Direct Wash-In Waterproofing

I had a few older North Face Hyvent shells to treat. I live here on the PNW coast of WA, so I need good performing rainwear as I trail run in the rain a few times a week. I had used the scotch guard spray in the past but still got so wet through in spots.....So this product.. I used a 5 gallon bucket with 2 gallons of water in it to make it really concentrated...poured in the entire bottle and stirred it up. I then put my two coats into the mix and made sure all was wet and covered. I let them sit for about an hour and then drained the excess water back into the bucket to reuse for two more coats. That bottle treated 4 items for me. They hung outside for about 2 hours to get rid of the dripping water, then a quick spin in the washer(no water just a spin cycle) to remove a little more water and then they went into the dryer on low for abut 30 minutes. I did not wat to over dry them in the dryer so then I took the slightly damp coats out and let them dry totally in my basement x1 day with a fan blowing on them. No smell from not doing a water rinse and they now shed water like they were new. Much easier than putting them in the washer I think. It takes a little effort and time but it was money well spent. btw I did not pre wash them with the Nikwax. They were pretty clean, no mud but a few dirty spots. I did not care if they looked brand new, just worked in the rain. These were used coats I got online for $30 each...used to be $$250 shells new...and they were 20 plus years old. I wear them 5 days a week when I am on a trail run with a pack. Final verdict is Nikwax is easier than scotch guard, better coverage, no smell, and works out to about $4 per coat....a pretty good deal.

Noodzakelijk voor het opfrissen, vernieuwen en wassen van sportkleding. Goede prijs!

Buen producto si protege las prendas tal como lo describe el fabricante además que si es transportable. Yo lo usé en la nieve y no se fijaron las prendas.

He probado en la lavadora el producto en el traje de cordura de la moto. Me ha sorprendido gratamente el resultado final. Vertí un poco de agua en el pantalón sin el producto e inmediatamente se absorbió, pero al hacer lo mismo ya con el producto, la cordura repelía el agua y fluía sin absorberse. Esperemos que haga el mismo efecto en días que pueda llover.

I have a waterproof warm Goretex jacket I use for walking the dog in winter, and it had got filthy with mud as they do! The jacket was machine washable, so after a lot of advice from Auntie Google I machine-washed it and another waterproof jacket with a regular detergent to get them clean, then hand-rinsed them to get all the detergent out. I then put them through the machine twice with the Nikwax TX Direct (doubling up to compensate for using detergent to get it clean) and let them drip-dry. With some scepticism I tested waterproof-ness (is that a word?) using the 'shower' setting on the garden hose. Both jackets are as waterproof as they were when new! So I'm delighted and will definitely use again.
