Nikwax TX Direct Wash In

I like to use this after each wash of and outfit once waterproofness seems lost. Not to say that the material quality is lacking, but just want the most added waterproofness I can get. DWR coatings don't last forever and this product brings that feel back to life. During initial wash with solution in water I stop the cycle to let the solution soak for 30 minutes with Garment and then hang dry when wash is complete.

I decided to go with the wash-in because it is a lot less time consuming and it makes sure to get the entire jacket. Easy as throwing your clean jackets into the wash with this stuff, and the DWR is like new again. Awesome!

I washed my stuff with the Tech Wash then this stuff and it made my coats clean and waterproof again. Its nice to see the water just bead off your coat! One thing I didnt realize is that it takes a whole bottle of this stuff just to do 3 coats. And this stuff gave me a little scare when I took out my orange MH Argon jacket it looked like orange tie-die and I was afraid it stained it that way but I let it hang and air dry and about 3 hours later it looked the way it should.

This product totally rejuvenated my twelve year old Gore-Tex jacket. Instead of water penetrating the fabric, it now beads & rolls off of very nicely.

Everyone knows that even the best DWR's start to lose their repellency over time. This is the solution. Use the green tech was first to clean it, and then wash it with this to restore it. Some might say it's magic, and maybe it is. The bottom line is that this stuff restores the DWR coatings on your jackets. So rather than get rid of your expensive clothing, year after year, just wash it with this stuff and your good to go for the next season.

Noticed at the end of last season that my ski pants (Patagonia Rubicons) had lost a lot of their water repellency, so I set out to find a product that would restore their water repellency. The Nikwax TX Direct was what I ended up getting and I’ve loved how great it has worked. Snow/Water beads up pretty well but not as well as a brand new garment. I would recommend to friend for sure especially if they’re looking to extend the life of their gear.

If you own gore-tex or other waterproof breathable gear, you need this stuff. Unless you don't use said waterproof gear, then you don't need this stuff since it's made for people who do use their gear. I use the tech wash too, but I'm not sure if it's worth it, some gear just says use powdered wash soap. The TX Direct works great, and I think the wash-in stuff works a lot better than the spray on. Now that I think about it, I need to buy more!

Works great on all my Gore shells. Brought the life back to my gear that I thought was done for. Well worth the money for this miracle bottle.

I used this on a MH Conduit shell that, after a number of hard years, was wetting out in even moderate rain. After this treatment? Still wets out. Bummer.

really brings the water reppelency back to my shells. the bottle says to use entire bottle for 2 or three garments but i did 4 and still works great

I have not tested this on anything else yet, but it certainly rejeuvinates my old shells. Cheap, easy, and effective.

I bought the 2-bottle set (10 oz. Tech Wash and 10 oz TX.direct) at REI and they were together in shrink plastic. When I took them out of the plastic I realized there were no instructions on either bottle on how to use the product. A quick web search took me to the nikwax sight and instructions for the TX.direct stated "Run 30° synthetic cycle and slow spin." My washer doesn't have a 30 degree cycle (does yours?) and doesn't have a synthetic cycle and doesn't have a slow spin. I just washed the coats on gentle cycle and let them sit for about 30 min before rinse. Seemed to work ok. For such a "tech" product the instructions seem obtuse.

This stuff worked well on one of my jackets. Made it function close to new. On my other, older jacket, it didn't do the trick. When combined with the Tech Wash, this is good stuff, but it isn't a foolproof way to restore an older garment.

I used this combined with the tech wash on an old pair of snowpants that had almost literally turned into a sponge, they had no water repellency whatsoever. The water beaded up nicely after the treatment, but it wasnt completely water proof. Water would start to soak through a bit if it was left pooled up in an area, i.e. your dirty snow encrusted butt... so by itself its not going to be 100%. I used the spray on stuff after the fact and now its pretty much made of plastic, aint no water getting through there.
I see this as more of a "maintenance" product for keeping gear that still has some waterproofing working great.. just dont expect it to make a completely non-waterproof fabric function 100%

very good

Not the beading I would life; peraps a second coating with a side loader again will do the trick

the Nikwax TX Direct Wash In works great at getting more life out of that jacket you spent $$$ on. I have used this on all of my jackets and has helped keep me dry. I use it with the spray on tech wash to get the most waterproof I can. Have used by itself and would definitely buy it again.

This stuff works really well. But keep in mind, it is made mainly for rain gear without a liner on the inside. If you have a jacket with a fleece backing or fuzziness on the inside, go with the spray on TX Direct rather than the wash-in. It says that right on the label.

Wow! I washed my Burton jacket, pants, and AK gloves. Now my stuff feels, and looks like new. Highly Recommended!
