Product Details

When a waterproof jacket or pair of rain trousers starts wetting out, TX.Direct Wash In gives the fabric’s outer surface a fresh water-repellent treatment. It works on individual fibres rather than forming a solid film, so moisture vapour can still pass through. The treatment also covers seams, tapes, cords, and fabric, helping reduce water absorbency and revive the garment’s breathability. It is suitable for breathable waterproof clothing, including Gore-Tex, eVent, and other waterproof fabrics.

Use it in a standard or high-efficiency front- or top-loading washing machine, or apply it by hand. The treatment develops its Durable Water Repellency as it air dries, with low-temperature tumble drying also possible when the care label allows. Clean garments first with Nikwax Tech Wash in a separate cycle; conventional detergents can damage water repellency. TX.Direct Wash In is non-flammable and PFAS-free, and is suitable for jackets, trousers, gloves, and sleeping bags.

Why you'll love it

Breathability stays in play

The treatment sits on the fibres instead of sealing them under a continuous coating, helping moisture vapour move out while the outer fabric sheds water more effectively.

Machine or hand application

Refresh one garment by hand or treat several in a front- or top-loading washer. The process fits into normal care routines, with no specialist equipment required.

PFAS-free formula

TX.Direct offers a water-repellent treatment without PFAS or flammability concerns, making it a practical option for maintaining waterproof clothing and sleeping bags at home.
