The Nikwax reproofing solution basically 'sticks' to the existing DWR on the face fabric of the jacket, effectively topping it up. That's why using the wash-in version doesn't affect the inside of a shell or inhibit breathability (because only the outside of a jacket is treated with a DWR coating). That's also why Nikwax works best if you use it fairly regularly, i.e. before most of the DWR on your jacket has already worn away or degraded.
@@mattymountains thanks for advice. I'm gonna get Nikwax for my 'smart' waterproofs. What do you recommend for a 'rough' jacket with most of the proofing faded?
Great question. It depends on the fabric type I suppose. Worth taking a look at Nikwax's full range - they've got solutions for softshell, polycotton, cotton and loads more. Will

Very useful, thanks
Great video thanks a lot!
No probs. The time of year for it! Will
Would love to see some updated Paramo gear videos, particularly the Alta or perhaps the Enduro Windproof vs the Bentu Windproof systems.
@EVLitterPicker will see what I can do! Have been enjoying the Helki recently.
Thank yoi
Thanks for the vid but doesn't the wash in waterproof stop your sweat from getting out through the micro pores?
It's not something I've experienced. I believe it's supposed to be specially formulated to prevent this. Will

Has anyone tried this solution on construction type of clothing? Let me know your results!

Construction waterproofs tend to be oil waxed
@@A_Pt_9298 thank you. Will look into it
