Is it safe to use the Nikwax waterproofers on this Jacket? I have the softshell spray on and wash in versions.

It may make it more water resistant, but it is never going to work that great no matter what you use. The problem is the fabric--the fuzziness of the outside will trap water and prevent it from rolling right off. No spay-on or wash-in product is going to prevent you from getting wet if caught in severe for extended times in this jacket. However, it was never meant to be that type of jacket, so you will have to take a look at what your needs are.

Use the wool wash or polarwash instead of that
