The evaporation of sweat cools us down and keeps us comfortable. But, when it rains we want to avoid getting wet, so we put on waterproof outerwear to keep us dry. The waterproof fabric must allow moisture vapour to pass through it, or ‘breathe’; otherwise our sweat cannot evaporate, causing us to overheat and get wet from condensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, if the outer fabric of your garment absorbs water and ‘wets out’ its breathability will be reduced, causing you to feel clammy and wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eUse Tech Wash and TX.Direct when your waterproof clothing soaks up water\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour raingear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty.

Conventional detergents leave behind a thin water-absorbent film on materials, which masks their Durable Water Repellency (DWR). Therefore, always clean your waterproof garments with Nikwax Tech Wash. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow Tech Wash and TX.Direct work\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikwax Tech Wash and TX.Direct are market leading products.
