Nikwax Softshell Proof - 300ml
- Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ is a safe product to use on softshell fabrics. It is WaterBased, non-flammable, contains no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is fluorocarbon free.
- Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimzed for softshell clothing, providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) whilst maintaining breathability.
- Nikwax SoftShell Proof requires no heat to develop its DWR, so it is not necessary to use a tumble drier for best results.
- Breathable softshell garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions.
- If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability.
- Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your softshell jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort.
- It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax SoftShell Proof™.

HOW YOU SHOULD USE IT:

By Hand:
- Softshell fabrics combine desirable properties of hardshells and fleeces to improve user comfort while providing protection in most conditions.
- Softshells are breathable and stretchy while also being highly water and wind repellent.
- They fit the shape of the wearer, allow the movement of moisture away from the body and at the same time they shed water and protect against wind chill.
- Softshells provide a versatile outer layer that can cope with most conditions.
- To maintain their water repellency and breathability it is essential that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating is maintained.
- Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ has been specifically formulated to maintain optimum performance of softshell fabrics.
WHY YOU SHOULD USE IT:
- Your softshell garment could be soaking up water just because it is dirty.
- First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning.
- Once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax SoftShell Proof™, after cleaning first with Nikwax Tech Wash®.
HOW YOU SHOULD USE IT:
- For best results remove all non-washable parts and always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle.
- No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing.
