Down Proof
Nikwax Down Proof adds durable water repellency (DWR) to your down filled garments. Down is an amazing natural fiber for its compressibility, resilience, and warmth. The major drawback of down is it's inability to retain loft and insulate when wet. To add water-repellency to the whole garment—shell, down, and inner lining—use Nikwax Down Proof. **NOTE: If your down garment incorporates a waterproof breathable shell fabric, you should use Nikwax TX-Direct Spray-On (our item no.: NIK0008). 10 fl oz. (300 ml)

For Northwest down lovers
I live in the Pacific NW and love my down clothing and gear. I wear it under a waterproof shell when needed and down direct gives me confidence that even with some dampness I will still be warm. This is especially true if my sleeping bag. Condensation and leaks happen but down direct keeps my bag performing.

Useful for extending your puffy life
for it to work successfully you need to by the tech wash then the down waterproofing. Tricky to get the dosing for the washing machine right. It seems to extend the life of my north face summit series jacket.

Best gear cleaner out there!
Love this stuff! Environmentally friendly, cleans great, revitalizes gear and waterproofing, keeps gear out of the landfill! I would highly recommend to stop using normal detergent and switch to some proper cleaning!

Without the flower, mountain or spring ‘odor’ of most detergents, this makes turns your down items into fluffy stink-free, lighter gear.

works as intended
It only works for 1-3 garments, don't expect it to proof your entire winter closet.
