Nikwax Down Proof is designed to add water repellency to the outer fabric & the down filling of outdoor clothing & equipment. Why? Well if the face fabric of your down jacket/sleeping bag gets wet it dramatically reduces breathability & becomes very heavy. You know what its like the first time you go out in the rain with a new jacket, the water beads up & rolls off. Then after some time this stops happening & your jacket gets all wet & heavy, it wets out, & feels damp & clammy on the inside. Down Proof also helps to maintain the natural loft of the down clusters to ensure maximum insulation. Damp or wet down is virtually useless. Down Proof will reduce wetting out & maintain the insulation properties of your down filled kit like new.. Used regularly it will prolong the life of garments & enhance performance. Nikwax products are Water Based, non-aerosol, non-flammable, non-hazardous & environmentally friendly. They contain no harmful solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), & are completely free of fluorocarbons (which have been shown to be persistent in the environment & have been associated with serious health issues).
