Nikwax Down Wash/Down Proof Twin Pack 150ml

Nikwax Down Wash is a thoroughly safe,  effective and environmentally friendly way of cleaning all your natural down insulated clothing and equipment. Down items that are cleaned regularly with Nikwax Down Wash perform better, FACT! Clean down insulates better, breathes better, is lighter and performs longer.  Normal detergents leave behind a residue that attracts dirt leading to wetting out, loss of insulation and reduced water resistance. Modern Hydrophobic down, as used by Rab, must be cleaned with Nikwax Down Wash to maintain its performance. Its not just about performance, you wouldnt wear clothing that had not been washed for months, so why wear dirty clothes doing the activities you love? Think of washing and re-proofing your kit like servicing your car, you
(hopefully) wouldnt expect your car to keep going forever without regular servicing, look after your kit and it will look after you. Cleans all Down filled outdoor clothing safely Maintains original water repellency Maintains breathability Machine or hand wash Unlike detergents it will not encourage wetting out Can be used to remove detergents from incorrect washing procedures Water based, environmentally friendly, non hazardous and bio-degradable Nikwax Down Proof is designed to add water repellency to the outer fabric and the down filling of outdoor clothing and equipment. Why?  Well if the face fabric of your down jacket/sleeping bag gets wet it dramatically reduces breathability and 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 and rolls off. Then after some time this stops happening and your jacket gets all wet and heavy, it wets out, and feels damp and 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 and maintain the insulation properties of your down filled kit like new..  Used regularly it will prolong the life of garments and enhance performance.
