Why breathability depends on water-repellency...
Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to perspire and become damp inside when used in wet or damp conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric of the jacket to ensure comfort. Over time it wears away and needs to be restored using Nikwax TX.Direct®.
Waterproof clothing must be breathable...
When we work hard, we perspire. Evaporation of sweat cools us and keeps us comfortable. However, when it rains, we want to avoid getting wet, so we put on a waterproof outer garment to keep us dry. Waterproof fabric must allow moisture vapours to pass through or "breathe", otherwise our sweat cannot evaporate, causing overheating and dampness from condensation. Additionally, if the outer fabric of the garment absorbs water and "becomes saturated", its breathability decreases, causing you to feel clammy and wet.
Use Nikwax TX.Direct® when your rain clothing becomes saturated with water...
Your rain garment may become saturated with water simply because it is dirty. First try cleaning it using Nikwax Tech Wash® and if it is relatively new or recently re-impregnated, the durable water-repellent layer (DWR) will be restored simply by cleaning. However, once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR using Nikwax TX.Direct® after the first clean with Nikwax Tech Wash®.
If your rain clothing does not have a moisture-wicking lining, use Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In...
Using the correct impregnation product is important. Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On is fantastic for a raincoat with a water-wicking lining, because it provides a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish without compromising the water-wicking properties. However, if moisture-wicking linings are not present, using Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In ensures that you do not miss any areas (complete DWR coverage!) and applies easily in the washing machine.
How Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On protects...
Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On is easy and quick to apply and its highly durable water-repellent capability (DWR) develops as it air dries. There is no need for tumble drying, saving energy and protecting more vulnerable, older garments from heat. Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On was specially designed and optimised for breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water-repellent finish on individual fibres, which allows moisture vapours to pass through and maintains breathability. Spray application allows direct treatment of areas that need it most (for example elbows and seams on jackets) and does not compromise the properties of internal moisture-wicking linings.
