How to Use Nikwax

For best results, clean your garment with Nikwax Tech Wash before applying a waterproofing treatment such as TX.Direct. This two-step process removes dirt and body oils that degrade DWR performance, then restores the water-repellent coating so your jacket beads water again as it should.
