The treatments contain elastic water-repellent polymers that bond to fabric fibres, leaving the spaces between open and breathable. They stretch and move with the fabric so they work better and last longer. Nikwax will not change the look or feel of the fabric. The treatments are water-based, environmentally safe and non-flammable. Ideal for all types of equipment and accessories.<\/p>\n<p>For specific product information use the Product Selector.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"templatera_shortcode\"><section class=\"vc_section quick-links\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"blueColor\">Quick links<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"quick-links__list wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/how-nikwax-works\/\">Introduction<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"\/en-us\/how-nikwax-works\/#gfcpfp\">Green for clean, purple for proofing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/how-nikwax-works\/easy-waterproof-test\/\">The easy waterproof test<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/how-nikwax-works\/garment-care\/\">Garment Care<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/how-nikwax-works\/footwear-care\/\">Footwear Care<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/how-nikwax-works\/equipment-care\/\">Equipment Care<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Caring for Sleeping Bags<\/h3>\n<p>Nikwax non-detergent soaps, <a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/cleaning\/equipment\/tech-wash\/\">Tech Wash<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/waterproofing\/clothing-waterproofing\/down-wash-direct\/\">Down Wash Direct,<\/a>\u00a0clean without harming water-repellency and help to restore the bag&#8217;s loft.
