        Has anyone used this stuff on their waterproofs?

          Yes I have used it to wash my hillwalking and fishing gortex for years..
          It water proofs the outer layer so the water beads and runs off rather than soaking in.
          It’s good stuff but expensive.

            Nik wax is the brand name and they do a whole range of stuff for different applications.
            For your waterproofs you want the tech wash and the tx direct. The tech wash is like a safe detergent and the tx direct is the chemical that gives the out layer a coating which causes the water to bead off.

            Nik wax is recommended by gore-tex and you can buy it in bulkier amounts, that makes it quite good value, especially as you don’t need to use much and it lasts quite a while.

            Definitely recommend it as it helps prevent your waterproofs taking on that heavy saggy feeling when they get saturated.

            But just remember nothing breathable is 100% waterproof and if you sit in the rain for long enough you will eventually get wet, no matter what you treat it with.
