Nikwax TX Direct Wash In

Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In treatment restores durable water repellency (DWR) for waterproof/breathable fabrics such as Gore-Tex, HyVent, PreCip, and Event. Washing and using fabrics can make them begin to absorb water or "wet out". Nikwax TX-Direct completely restores surface water-repellency which enhances breathability. Nikwax TX-Direct lasts several washings and does not need to be reapplied after every wash like other treatments. 10 fl oz. (300 ml)

Bottom Line: No need to throw out that Gore-Tex shell because you're getting soggy when you ski. Simply retreat it with TX Direct Wash-In, and you'll be dry again.

This stuff is GREAT!!

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 have an Osprey Aether pack, would this work well for waterproofing

I have an Osprey Aether pack, would this work well for waterproofing it? Or what combo of Nikwax products would work best for my pack? I know they reccomend Tech wash, UV proof & Tent/Gear proof. It just seems like this would be a great product to add to the lineup for my pack. I am all about getting as much life out of my pack as possible. I guess what I'm asking is, would adding this to the three products I'm already using, be excessive?

This product is for breathable items such as rain shells. Tent & gear proof is what you should be using on your pack, especially since it looks like some of the body of the aether is 200D nylon. To help extend the life of your pack, just make sure it's clean and dry before you put it away for storage.

Works Great!

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.

Hey Mark:I am the Key Acct. Manager at Nikwax; not sure you got the answer re: your shell, but Nikwax Tech Wash followed with TX Direct is the recommended 1-2 punch you need to keep mositure beading up on your apparel.

Another Quality Nikwax Product

By:

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.

How many washings will this 10 oz. bottle will do in a standard

How many washings will this 10 oz. bottle will do in a standard top-load washing machine? Is it just meant for 1, or do use a capful each time?

You use the entire bottle for one load of 4-5 pieces.I stretch one bottle into four washes using a front loader on the light load setting.

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.

Not for garments with wicking liners

By: Backcountry.com Employee
February 10, 2009

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.
