Carol - 2008-06-12A must-have for ski clothes!
I use this to refresh the waterproofing every season on my ski pants and jackets after washing with Tech Wash. Works great!
Chris - 2008-01-25Good product
Product worked well. Used it on 4 year old pants and jacket. Revived the water proofing for both the pants and the jacket. Snow and water beads off like they are brand new. highly recommend the product

Anonymous - 2007-09-21The only choice!
Truly the best choice if your outerwear is starting to lose its Water repellent qualities. Very easy to use. Don't forget to use Nikwax Tech Wash before.
Karla Perkins - 2007-01-03This is a wonderful product that acts as advertised
I own 4 horses. Some are clipped and thus need rain sheets. After a year, the rain sheets loose their ability to repel water. I have treated up to 3 rain sheets at a time in my large front loader machine and had them all remain waterproof and breathable.

I maintain every other piece of equipment to the best of my abilities. Now I can maintain the water repellancy of my outwear. Who would have thought that was possible? TX-Direct from Nikwax re-delivers the performance I expected from my shell outwear.
Kirk - 2006-11-14It works!
I tested this on an old running jacket before I used it on a nicer one and it worked very well. It is simple to use, just drop in up to four garments you want to waterproof (inside and out. If you just want to water proof the outside, then get the sprayon kind) measure out the appropriate amount of liquid in a disposible cup and wash. I pulled my jacket out of the washer and hung it up to dry. When it was dry, I stuck the arm of the jacket under the sink faucet and the water beaded up and ran off the jacket. The bottle is pretty big, so you can probably wash four items three or four times. Using this is much cheaper than buying a new jacket each year.
MacK Hamilton - 2006-10-06Very satisfied; works great.
Easy to use and certainly waterproofed my Gortex jacket. After washing with Nikwax Tech Wash I then followed the instructions for applying the Direct Wash-in in my clothes washer. The jacket now has water bead up on it.
Anonymous - 2006-09-12great product love it
I used it on my 10 year old tent went fishing, rain all week kept me dry
Anonymous - 2006-06-07Works exactly as expected
My raingear is now about 12 years old - I generally wear it when riding a motorcycle and it had reached the point that in a heavy rain water went straight through it. Washed with an appropriate non-detergent cleaner and then with Nikwax and water just beads. This is actually the third time I've treated this suit - I'm probably not going to make a fourth because things are starting to fray badly but, no question, this stuff works.
As an aside - I was a little concerned the first time I used it because, as a wash in product, what will it do to the washer and dryer. No problems. No effects whatsoever.
Alex McWilliams - 2006-05-08Good product
I have used this product for many years on ski parkas, a motorcycle riding suit, and other outdoor jackets with great success. It seems pricey at first, but it does a great job and is easy on the item for extended life. Buy the large size, you'll find may items to use it on.
Anonymous - 2006-02-10Awesome Stuff
It works great!
Wyatt from Washington - 2005-12-26Definitely works
This stuff waterproofs my snowboarding and hiking outerwear. It lasts about a dozen uses and takes two washes to put in: one to wash clean and then one to waterproof the cleaned garments. You wouldn't even know it's on but once the rain comes it wicks it away. It is totally transparent.
Chauncey Taylor - 2005-12-02Great product!
I have never used a product like this before, I'm pleased so far, I thew some water on my jacket and pants and it beaded up. I have not tested the gear in the field yet, I feel confident that it will, be very waterproof. I can write you back, with field results, I'm also curious to see how long the treatment will last, I know that will depend on wear and tear and how I care for my garment.
Jeanette - 2005-10-11fantastic product
this really works! I have used it on a variety of jackets, and even to rejuvinate breathable fishing waders.
Allan Schwinn - 2005-04-18Works well on Gore-Tex
I used this on my Gore-Tex Alpine Parka from The North Face. Although the wrong material (I should have purchased the spray on material) it did a great job of restoring the DWR of the fabric.
Anonymous - 2005-02-18Good Stuff!
Seemed to clean my garments well and prepare them for the TX-Direct Wash-In treatment, which works just great!
Anonymous - 2005-02-18Works Great!
Water just beads up and rolls off after I washed my Gore-Tex garments with Tech Wash and TX-Direct Wash-In, yet they're still as breathable as before - amazing stuff!
Gerry - 2005-01-24Fantastic and Easy
Nikwax again comes through as a product line with great results. I used Tx direct on a Mountain Hardwear piece that was acouple of years old and had lost its ability to shed water. The piece is as good as new
Anonymous - 2005-01-05Not much to say. This stuff works.
This is the only product for re-waterproofing my coats and jackets that I've ever used, which is to say, I've never felt the need to look for anything else. It does what it's supposed to with little or now fuss. I even kind of like the way it smells , but I'm funny that way.
Tom - 2004-11-29Works Great
Saved my jacket when I washed it with the wrong detergent.
Debbie Marable - 2004-11-14Great product
Nikwax wash-in is a great product. I use to wash my Patagonia jacket to bring it back to like new condition.
Anonymous - 2004-09-18good as advertised
Good thing it comes in a large size because the directions call for a lot of it.
Bill Meyers - 2004-06-13Great Product!
Outstanding product! I used it on my 2 year old rain suit's and they shed water like they did when they were new. I highly recommend this product.
Anonymous - 2004-05-31Service couldn't be better
Great product and great service. No complaints!
Bill Harman - 2003-12-28Even Dryer
After washing with Tech Wash, I decided to add some additional waterproofing to some older ski clothing. I could instantly see how it worked when pulled the clothes from the washing machine. Water really beaded up on the surface. I really need that because we get so many wet days here in the NW Cascades. Thanks.
Bruce - 2002-10-20recommended by Helly Hanson
When my Helly Tech raingear started to get tired I called Helly customer service about rewaterproofing, they told me simply to get Nikwax TX-Direct and do it myself. I've been a believer in Nikwax products ever since. It's quick,it's easy and it works!
Dave Jones - 2002-08-30Saved my Leaking Gore-tex Jacket.
After 7 years of hard wearing, my gore-tex coat started leaking. I used NikWax TX-Direct and my coat is as good as new. And I mean as good as new.
B Harris - 2002-02-23great product, very good w/r restorer.
First became aware of this product when Helly Hanson customer service recommended it for use on some of their w/r gear that I owned. That was 5 years ago and I'm still a firm believer in the product.
Anonymous - 2008-03-11Works well and I continue to purchase and use
I started using this last year after my "new" Columbia hunting jackets got very dirty. I think it came close to brining the jacket back to the original water repellency but maybe not 100%. I hunt in ALL weather 20+ days per season and the jacket takes a real beating. I also recommend the wash and this year I bought the spray on to try before really raining days.
Anonymous - 2005-02-09Very good product!
This seems to be an excellent product ... pust the DWR right back in the jacket!
BJ - 2004-04-28Nice!
I used this wash-in to revive my 5-year old waterproof jacket. It works great! My jacket is not smelly any more! It is easy to follow the instruction. Good product.
John Breakwell - 2007-02-19not as good as Granger's
recently tried refurbishing two old raincoats. Nikwax on a Patagonia coat (their recommendation) and Granger's on a Marmot coat (again the manufacturer's recommendation. The Granger's worked a bit better, water beading much more convincingly than it did on the Nikwax treated coat.
Anonymous - 1999-02-15Great at adding/extending water proofing/repellenc
I have used this and other NIKWAX products for several years. I highly recommend them. Great to extend the life of your waterproof garments, or to increase the waterproof/repellency of fleece, etc (use Polar proof for fleece). Leaves somewhat of a "chemical" smell at first, but it goes away quickly.
