Product Details

When rainwear starts wetting out, the issue is not always a failing membrane. Dirt and detergent residue can mask the fabric’s water repellency and reduce breathability. Tech Wash cleans without leaving that absorbent film, while TX.Direct Wash-In restores a flexible water-repellent treatment to the fibres. Used together, they help rain and snow clothing perform as intended and can extend the useful life of older gear.

The DUO-Pack works in a washing machine or by hand, and TX.Direct does not require tumble drying. That makes the process straightforward and avoids unnecessary heat on vulnerable garments. The treatment is water-based, non-flammable, PFAS-free, and made without harmful aerosols. It is suitable for jackets, trousers, gloves, and synthetic sleeping bags.

Why you'll love it

Refreshes wet-weather gear

The cleaning step removes dirt and detergent residue that can interfere with a garment’s existing water repellency, helping the outer fabric shed moisture more effectively.

Restores breathable protection

TX.Direct coats individual fibres without sealing them shut, so treated clothing can repel water while still allowing moisture vapour to pass through.

No tumble drying required

You can apply the waterproofing by wash or hand, then air dry when appropriate. Skipping heat can save energy and is gentler on older garments.
