MAINTENANCE
We cannot stress enough how important it is to look after and clean your rain jacket in order to maintain its waterproof abilities.
Our garment fabric has a solid structure that physically stops water from passing through the membrane. The fabric breaths by absorbing and dissipating sweat through the diffusion of water vapour molecules.
When the fabric membrane becomes clogged with grease, dust, and dirt it is very likely to allow moisture in and leak.
We recommend washing your rain jacket with NikWax TechWash following the guidelines on the NikWax packaging to clean off the grease and grime, followed by a re-wash with NikWax TX Direct, this will help to restore the garments waterproof properties.
