The structure of down allows air to be trapped between its filaments and warmed by body heat to provide insulation for the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough use, dirt and body oils build up on down items. This effects both the fabric and the down fill. Dirt attracts water; if the fabric absorbs water, rain and condensation can easily transfer into the down. If down gets wet it clumps together. This causes it to lose loft and insulation as it can’t trap air effectively. When wet, down loses all of its insulating properties, as water conducts heat away from the body up to 25 times faster than air. It will also gain weight and its breathability will be significantly reduced; leaving you feeling cold, wet and uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDown filled items are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. Therefore it is important to stop down filled gear from getting wet by maintaining Durable Water Repellency (DWR). The outer fabric of your down filled item, as well as the down inside, must be maintained to ensure comfort. Nikwax Down Wash Direct will revitalize the insulation and restore DWR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDown is ideal for very cold and dry conditions...\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDown has exceptional insulating properties, trapping air between its filaments to keep you warm. No other product offers so much insulation for so little weight and bulk. It’s ideal for sleeping bags, jackets, vests and down clothing in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater, whether it is rain or condensation from sweat, compromises the insulating properties of down. If down gets wet it loses all of its insulating capacity and also causes weight gain. This reduces the comfort of the user, causing them to feel cold and wet, but more importantly the reduction in insulation is dangerous and in severe cases can lead to hypothermia. When wet, down loses all of its insulating properties, as water conducts heat away from the body up to 25 times faster than air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikwax Down Wash Direct revitalizes insulation and the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of both the outer fabric and down fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreating your down with Nikwax Down Proof™ adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to both the outer fabric and the down fill. This prevents water absorption whilst maintaining insulation and breathability, keeping you warm, dry and comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCleaning properly can be as important as waterproofing…\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the right cleaning product is as important as using the right waterproofing product. Conventional detergents leave behind a thin water-absorbent film on materials, which masks their Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and can harm the down fill. Therefore, always clean your down items with Nikwax Down Wash.Direct. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow Nikwax Down Proof™ protects...\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikwax Down Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimized for down filled gear.

Do not use detergents.\u003cbr\u003e* To get the maximum amount of water out of your down it’s best to spin dry multiple times, each time incrementally increasing the speed of the spin cycle. Wet down is heavy, so if items are spun too quickly while still holding a large amount of water it is possible that internal baffles may be broken.\u003cbr\u003e* Nikwax Down Proof™ treated items need no heat to develop water repellency. However, tumble drying is recommended (if care label allows) to ensure that the down is dried thoroughly and as quickly as possible. Leaving down wet or damp can ruin it completely. Tumble dry according to manufacturer’s instructions on a low setting until clumps have disappeared. Ensure that there is sufficient room in the tumble drier to house the item once dry, as items will return to their original size during the drying process.\u003cbr\u003e* Teasing apart clumps repeatedly during drying process will help restore loft to the down.\u003cbr\u003e* After tumble drying it is recommended to air item(s) for at least a day in a warm and dry space, prior to packing away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikwax","offers":[{"title":"One Size","offer_id":40715309187142,"sku":"210000335834","price":19.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1409\/1390\/files\/nikwax-down-proof-300ml-834045.jpg?v=1727146631"},{"product_id":"nikwax-sport-refresh-33-8-fl-oz","title":"Nikwax Sport Refresh 33.8 Fl.
