Do I run a rinse cycle before waterproofing with TX.Direct?
BD Rhay
Member since
I run them thru with the tech wash and then right back thru with the wash-in. I do not believe you need to run a rinse cycle.
Loyal to the product.

I buy this duo of products every year without fail. While most people would say that it's an indicator that they don't work, I say that the preventative measures of using these are well worth the yearly cost. I use this on 2 jackets, 2 pairs of pants and a handful of gaiters. After use, rain, snow and any other form of moisture just beads up and rolls away. It also doesn't compromise wicking ability and breatheability at all. Nikwax products are the sole reason why I'm able to keep my gear and clothing at optimum performance year after year.
Amazing

Absolutely love these products... Just washed and waterproofed my ski jacket and pants. It works great, cleaned the jacket which had some stains on it. The best part... it made my killy jacket not only look brand new but it completely waterproofed it again. This was immediately tested as it was raining and the water just beaded and ran right off. Though it appears to be kind of pricey, backcountry has it for less than you will find in most stores and for once or twice a year that you would use it for ski gear it will pay for itself immediatey as you will be dry and warm, enjoy!
Worth it overall

Was having trouble with waterproofing on my Goretex ski shell, definitely restored it's water resistance up to near original performance with no obvious difference in breathability.
Works Great

I used this on a jacket and pair of pants that were very dirty and they came out looking brand new. The TX Direct also improved the waterproofing of both garments. This stuff works great and will bring your old dingy clothes back to life.
worked pretty good

Used it on my north face jacket and north face snowboarding pants. They appear to be clean and water is beading up on them a lot better now. The pants still have a little absorption after a while, but still a lot better than before.

First experience with this was awesome, washed my stoic luft hoody in it, not a garment you should use as a water shedder at all, and it made heavy sea spray roll off that jacket like BB's on a sheet of tilted plywood. That was at sea, I recently rode my beach cruiser home in a snow storm for an exciting 3 miles and was amazed how the glop was piling up on my sleeves, but would just shake off and not leave the damp spot on the fabric. That was after I'd washed it in a mild detergent to clean the salt off of it too!
I have the L1 premium denim snowboard pants...

I have the L1 premium denim snowboard pants and want to revive the waterproofness. They tag says they are like 94% cotton and 6% spandex. Which nikwax product would be best for them? I was gonna use the tech wash but not sure if I should use the tx or cotton proof. Here is the link to the pants

I love this stuff. Use the tech-wash and then let the TX-direct soak in for a while and everything is like new. Water just beads right off the fabric
Will this work with Tour Master Defender...
Bradley Von Haugg
Member since
Will this work with Tour Master Defender Rain gear? The last time I was stuck in a heavy down pour I got wet but not soaked. I have used camp dry in the past to water proof but this seems like its the best and easiest. Do you really just use this stuff like a detergent in the washing machine?

To an extent yes that is exactly what you do. Here is a link to better serve you so nothing goes wrong with your product
