Softshell Proof Spray-On 300ml

The easy to use, safe, high performance spray on waterproofing for softshell clothing.

Features:

• Adds durable water repellency
• Revives breathability
• Maintains internal wicking properties
• Safe product to use on softshell items with wicking linings, or those that can’t be machine washed
• WaterBased
• Non-flammable
• Contains no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Fluorocarbon free
• Can be applied to the outer face fabric of softshell clothing without compromising internal wicking properties
• Requires no heat to develop its DWR (develops on air drying), so it is not necessary to use a tumble drier for best results - saves energy and protects more vulnerable, older, garments from heat
  
• Easy and quick to apply
• Spray-on application allows for direct treatment of areas which require it most (e.g. elbows and seams on jackets)

Why breathability depends on water repellency
Breathable softshell garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your softshell jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax SoftShell Proof™.
