Easy to use, safe, high performance waterproofing for fleece

Adds Durable Water Repellency; reducing weight gain and maintaining breathability and insulation of fleece in wet weather.

Why fleece garments keep you warm…

Fleece fabrics are used to provide lightweight, insulating mid layers and additionally hats and gloves to keep you warm. Fleece fabrics are made from synthetic fibers. The construction of the fabric allows air to be trapped between the fibers and warmed by body heat to provide insulation for the user.

Water compromises the insulating properties of fleece…

Although the individual fibers of fleece cannot absorb water, it is possible for water to become trapped in the spaces between the fibers. The accumulation of water reduces the insulating properties of fleece and also causes weight gain; fleece can hold up to 50% of its weight in water!

This reduces the comfort of the user causing them to feel wet and cold, but more importantly the reduction in insulation is dangerous and in severe cases can lead to hypothermia.

Use Nikwax PolarProof® when your fleece soaks up water…
