This causes it to lose loft and insulation as it can’t trap air effectively.

Therefore it is important to stop down filled gear from getting wet by applying Durable Water Repellency (DWR).

If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability.

Additionally, if the outer fabric of your garment absorbs water and ‘wets out’ its breathability will be reduced, causing you to feel clammy and wet.\u003cbr\u003eNikwax TX.Direct® adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which prevents water absorption, whilst maintaining breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" class=\"productStraplineText\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreathable waterproof clothing is for active, outdoor people\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" class=\"productStraplineText\"\u003eAnyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof clothing.

It is WaterBased, non-flammable, contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is fluorocarbon free. Nikwax TX.Direct® has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof clothing, providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) while maintaining breathability. Nikwax TX.Direct® requires no heat to develop its DWR, so it is not necessary to use a tumble drier for best results.

Also, as the need for tumble drying is removed, this saves energy and protects more vulnerable, older, garments from heat.
