FAQ's
BREATHABILITY, WICKING & DWR
What is breathability, and why is it important?
Breathable fabrics allow sweat vapour to escape, helping you stay comfortable. Without breathability, moisture builds up inside your clothing, leaving you feeling damp and clammy.
What is wicking, and why is it important?
Wicking draws sweat away from your skin and spreads it across the fabric so it can evaporate more quickly. This helps keep you dry and comfortable. Use Nikwax BaseWash or Sports Refresh to help maintain your activewear’s wicking performance.
What is DWR?
Durable Water Repellency (DWR) is a water-repellent finish on the outer fabric of most outdoor clothing and equipment. It makes water bead up and roll off rather than soak in. Keeping your gear clean helps maintain its DWR and breathability.
CLOTHING
Do Nikwax treatments change the look or feel of clothing or sleeping bags?
No. Nikwax treatments are designed to maintain performance without changing the colour, texture or feel of your gear.
What should I do if taped seams are worn or coming apart?
If your garment is under warranty, contact the manufacturer about repairs. If not, you can carefully reattach loose tape with a clear adhesive. Then hand-wash with Tech Wash and reproof with TX.Direct Wash-In, following the product instructions.
FOOTWEAR
Will Nikwax treatments change the appearance of footwear?
Nikwax footwear products are designed to minimise changes to colour and texture. However, we recommend testing the product on a hidden area first.
Does footwear need to be wet before applying a proofing product?
Waterproofing Wax for Leather can be applied to wet or dry footwear. For other proofing products, wet the footwear first. Always clean it with Footwear Cleaning Gel before treatment.
