NikWax Down Proof adds durable water repellency to down-filled items, maintaining their insulation and breathability in cold and damp conditions.
Down-filled apparel, blankets, sleeping bags, etc. are used to provide lightweight insulation to keep you warm: down allows air to be trapped between its filaments and warmed by body heat. But if down gets wet it clumps together, causing it to lose loft and insulation, as it can't trap air effectively. Water conducts heat away from the body up to 25x faster than air. Wet down will also gain weight and significantly reduce breathability, leaving you cold, wet and uncomfortable. Therefore it is vital to stop down-filled gear from getting wet by applying Durable Water Repellency (DWR). Through extended use, all DWR will eventually wear off and need to be renewed.
NikWax Down Proof will:
Nikwax Down Proof is a safe, easy to use product for down filled gear. It is quick to apply in a washing machine and ensures that the treatment goes right through the item, treating both the outer fabric and the down fill. The DWR of Nikwax Down Proof develops on air drying.
HOW TO USE
