But unfortunately, for most of us, these things are not our everyday routine. Many of us do not get to experience those beautiful outdoor scenes as frequently as we experience our bus commutes into downtown, shoveling snow off our driveways, standing outside for hours at a time at our children&#8217;s sporting events, working out in the yard, walking to a local cafe, or taking our dogs outside to leave behind some yellow snow. Even though our everyday routines are less adventurous than ski resort weekends and grueling alpine excursions, we can still ensure that we are prepared to beat the elements while doing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\">Below are 5 simple suggestions to help make your everyday &#8220;explorations&#8221; a bit better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\"><strong>1) Show your winter jacket some love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Techwash Txdirect 1 Smaller\" class=\"wp-image-10437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-324x216.jpg 324w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller-416x278.jpg 416w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/TechWash_TXDirect-1_smaller.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\">A good jacket goes a long way.

The bummer about cotton is that it usually has the same level of water-repellency as a sponge. It&#8217;s decent as a layer, but when it comes to protection from precipitation, untreated cotton will absorb it, adding weight to the garment and passing that moisture through to your skin, creating the &#8220;chilling&#8221; affect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\"><strong><em>Suggestion:<\/em><\/strong> Add water-repellency to your cotton outerwear with <a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/waterproofing\/clothing-waterproofing\/cotton-proof\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u class=\"sDZYg\">Nikwax Cotton Proof<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\">Your <em>sweatshirts<\/em>, <em>denim jeans &amp; jackets<\/em>, <em>canvas jackets &amp; pants<\/em>, and <em>corduroy garments<\/em> can all have water-repelling functionality added to them. Now, don&#8217;t make the mistake of thinking your cotton will magically turn into GORE-Tex or some elite, impermeable membrane; hopefully, you have some technical outerwear that does the heavy lifting. The idea here is to upgrade your everyday clothing to help you avoid those uncomfortable moments of suffering through damp outerwear. And don&#8217;t forget to avoid standard detergent once you&#8217;ve &#8220;converted&#8221; one of your cotton garments, otherwise, you&#8217;re back to where you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\"><strong>Final thought:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _1dH_e blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _3ZX8L _1dH_e\">All in all, you don&#8217;t have to go through your everyday cold-weather routines, tasks, and endeavors with underperforming apparel and footwear.
