The fast and simple solution to degraded DWR, Durable Water Repellency, in your outdoor gear NikWax TX-Direct Spray On gives you a greater range when it comes to refreshing DWR. NikWax TX-Direct Spray On has the same properties as the wash-in version, but the flexibility to treat gear you can’t easily toss in the washer, like packs, tent flies, or sleep sacks. Make sure the gear is clean, then treat with the spray on, going for a uniform coverage. Let set for a couple of minutes, then wipe away any excess with a damp cloth, checking to make sure you didn’t miss a section. Wait another five minutes, blot away any excess again0 and let air dry. The DWR will cure as it dries, giving you the protection you want with an easy, fuss-free, application. One bottle will treat a surprising amount of fabric and we recommend when you’re doing your end of season cleanup, washing and storing your gear, you look at both the season you’re putting away, and the one you’re headed in to, to bring everything up to date in one session of wash and proofing. This makes taking care of your gear efficient, and eliminates any surprises from having missed that one jacket or bag you meant to take care of. Efficient, easy to use, and not only environmentally friendly itself, but a way to keep your sports sustainable by maximizing the useful life of your gear.
