Your garment likely features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which acts as a vital first line of defense in wet conditions.
What is DWR?
- A factory-applied finish that causes moisture to bead up and roll off the fabric surface.
- Essential for keeping your outerwear performing at its best in wet conditions.
Why Does DWR Need Maintenance?
- The DWR finish degrades over time and needs occasional replenishment.
- Maintaining it ensures optimal water repellency and garment performance.
How to Test Your DWR Finish
- Lightly spray or splash water on your garment.
- Observe if water beads up or is absorbed by the fabric.
- If the fabric “wets out,” it’s time to restore the DWR finish.
Replenishing the DWR Finish
- Use a trusted product like Nikwax® TX.Direct Wash-In or TX.Direct Spray-On
- Follow the product’s instructions to restore your garment’s water repellency.
