Nikwax Tech Wash

The Nikwax Tech Wash is a specialty cleaner made for outdoor gear that regular laundry detergent can screw up. It safely cleans waterproof jackets, rain pants, synthetic insulated clothing, sleeping bags, and other technical gear while helping preserve the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that keeps water beading off the surface.

Unlike conventional detergents that can leave behind residues and interfere with water repellency, Tech Wash is designed specifically for technical outdoor fabrics. It removes dirt and contaminants that can reduce breathability and waterproof performance while helping existing water-repellent treatments perform better.

It's also the right way to prep gear before applying a Nikwax waterproofing treatment and can double the life of Nikwax treatments.

If your rain jacket has stopped beading water, don't immediately assume it's toast. Give the damn thing a proper wash first.
