If you find yourself getting clammy every time you wear your breathable waterproof jacket, then it probably just needs a good clean with the Tech Wash from Nikwax.
Dirt or conventional detergents can attract water which is why your clothing may not be performing properly. This wash is designed to clean waterproof breathable garments which will revitalise the water repellency and breathability. Tech Wash is also water-based, environmentally-friendly, non-hazardous and biodegradable.
Clean and revive your waterproof clothes or equipment with the Tech Wash from Nikwax.

Can you use this product on Mont Hydronaut waterproof gear? It doesn't say on the label
G'day Sarah,
Tech Wash is generally regarded the world over to be suitable for use on all waterproof textiles. I personally haven't come across any gear that this can't be safely used on.
Years ago I owned a Mont rain jacket that I used this with, but if you have any specific concerns around suitablility, best to check with Mont directly.
Will this work well with a Patagonia Torrentshell 2.5(2019 model)? THanks!
G'day Elliott,
Yes, you can use Tech Wash to clean and revive the waterproof membrane on your Torrentshell Jacket.
Just bought one "surplus". One of the reviews mentions treating the jacket with Nikwax once or twice a year to maintain waterproofing 100%. I notice that Snowy's sell this stuff, but I'm not sure which kind I should be using - "Tech Wash" maybe?? Any advice, so I can purchase the right stuff from you? Thanks.
G'day Paul,
From what we understand Sympatex is a waterproof breathable fabric so yes Nikwax will do the trick! Tech Wash is designed to wash the fabric, and remove dirt and grease from the pores in the fabric, which will generally restore the membrane. As the fabric ages, it may also benefit from TX Direct spray following washing with Tech Wash.
I have a waterproof Katmandu jacket that now lets water in. It is made of nylon and is unlined. Would 100ml of nikwax tech wash be enough. thanks
G'day Sue,
Great question! To answer your question, 1 x 100ml sachet should be enough to do one jacket. However, the Tech Wash is designed to clean your jacket by removing all the dirt and grime off which will help to restore water repellency. This is recommended as the 1st step, the 2nd step to adding water repellency back to a jacket is to use the Nikwax TX direct wash in Waterproofer. By using both these products, hopefully they will restore your jacket back to its former glory.
