Description

The Nikwax Tech Wash® & Softshell Proof™ Twin Pack is a complete care solution for softshell clothing. It cleans, restores water repellency, and revives breathability to keep your gear performing in changing conditions.

What’s Included

  • Tech Wash® – a specialist cleaner that removes dirt and revitalises water repellency
  • Softshell Proof™ Wash-In – a high-performance waterproofer designed for softshell garments

Key Benefits

  • Cleans and restores performance in one system
  • Revives Durable Water Repellency (DWR)
  • Maintains and enhances breathability
  • Improves comfort in wet and damp conditions
  • Easy wash-in application
  • Non-flammable and PFAS-free

Why Use the Twin Pack

Over time, dirt and residue reduce the effectiveness of your softshell clothing. This leads to reduced breathability and causes fabrics to absorb water.

Tech Wash® removes these contaminants while restoring existing water repellency. Once cleaned, Softshell Proof™ Wash-In adds a fresh layer of Durable Water Repellency (DWR), helping your gear shed water and perform at its best.

Used together, they keep your clothing warmer, drier and more comfortable.

Designed For

  • Softshell jackets and trousers
  • Windproof and breathable clothing
  • Performance outdoor layers

Compatible with leading fabric technologies including Gore-Tex®, Windstopper®, Schoeller® and other technical and softshell materials.

Performance You Can Rely On

This twin pack ensures your gear is properly maintained. Cleaning and reproofing regularly helps extend the life of your clothing while keeping it performing as intended.

Specifications

SKU112P06
The Nikwax Tech Wash® & SoftShell Proof™ system is designed to clean, restore and protect your softshell clothing. It removes dirt, revitalises water repellency, and restores breathability, keeping your gear performing in wet and demanding conditions.Why Cleaning and Reproofing MatterBreathable garments rely on Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to function properly. When the outer fabric absorbs water, breathability can drop significantly, leaving you feeling clammy and wet.Dirt and residues from conventional detergents can also attract water, causing fabrics to ‘wet out’ and reducing performance.Nikwax Tech Wash® removes these contaminants and revitalises existing DWR, restoring breathability. Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ then adds a fresh layer of DWR, ensuring water beads off the surface while moisture vapour can still escape.Built for Softshell PerformanceSoftshell garments combine stretch, breathability and weather resistance, making them ideal for active use. However, to maintain this balance, their water-repellent coating must be regularly maintained.This systemRestores water repellency

About the brand

Nikwax is a British brand and the trusted name in waterproofing and aftercare since 1977, when founder Nick Brown mixed his first batch of waterproofing wax for his leather walking boots. It has stayed focused on helping outdoor gear perform better and last longer ever since.

Its water-based, PFC-free treatments restore and improve the waterproofing of jackets, boots, tents and equipment while maintaining breathability, all without harming the environment.
