PRODUCT DETAILS
Nikwax TX Direct Wash In is suitable for any unlined garment that features a DWR -Durable Water Repellency treatment (waterproofs, soft shells, windproofs, etc) will periodically need this coating topping up.
So if you're Castelli Gabba or Perfetto start to wet out (stop beading water on the surface like they did when new) it might be time to give them a wash in this stuff. This simple to use wash in, restore's the water beading surface on your shell garments, helping keep you drier both from turning away water and increasing breathability.
Please note We do not recommend TX Direct Wash-In for items for insulated jackets like the Alpha RoS Jacket and recommend you use the spray on version (otherwise you will have a waterproof lining)
