BaseWash is worth it's weight in gold!

By Backcountry.com Employee January 29, 2009

Do you ever feel bad after washing your synthetic (non-merino) base-layers with normal laundry detergent? I do. Each time I wash my base-layers w/ Tide, I can't help but feel like I'm ruining the fabric. There has to be something better to wash synthetic base-layers with, right? YES! I heard about Nikwax almost a year ago and have since used a handful of their washes and proofs. Each one worked much better than I had hoped. The BaseWash is for cleaning synthetic base-layers. "It enhances the fabrics wicking properties." For merino wool base-layers, use Nikwax WoolWash.
