NIKWAX TX.DIRECT/TECH WASH DUO £12.25

The best waterproof jacket in the world will eventually clog with sweat and dirt, lose its DWR coating and start to wet-out. That doesn’t mean it’s knackered – it means it needs a wash. This twinpack safely and effectively sorts that out. Tech Wash cleans and refreshes waterproof fabrics while TX.Direct adds and renews water repellency and revives breathability. VERDICT The essential kit care duo to keep your waterproof clothing going for years.
