Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In 300ml bottle with purple cap and orange label

Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In (300ml)

Regular price $39.99
Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Description

Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In is a machine wash waterproofer for breathable rain jackets, overtrousers and gloves. It's for runners whose shell has started wetting out across the shoulders, and it restores the water repellency on the outer fabric without blocking breathability. Because the whole garment sits in the treatment, you won't miss a patch. Wash it first with Nikwax Tech Wash, then run a second cycle with this.

Which Nikwax to pick? Wash-In suits shells with no wicking liner. If your jacket has a wicking lining, go for TX.Direct Spray-On instead.

Why You'll Love It
  • Rain beads off your shell again instead of soaking in
  • Even coverage over every seam and cuff, no spray streaks to worry about
  • Your jacket keeps breathing on long climbs, so less clammy sweat inside
  • Set it and forget it: the washing machine does the work
Technical Features
  • Type: Wash-in durable water repellent (DWR) treatment
  • Volume: 300ml
  • Dose: 100ml per garment (about three garments per bottle)
  • Method: Machine wash at 30°C synthetic cycle, slow spin, or hand wash in 7.5L hand-hot water
  • Suits: Gore-Tex®, eVent®, Sympatex®, Nikwax Analogy® and similar breathable waterproofs
  • Prep: Clean first with Nikwax Tech Wash in a separate cycle
  • Drying: Air dry, or tumble dry low if the care label allows
  • Formula: PFAS free, non-flammable
Perfect For
  • Trail runners with an unlined waterproof shell that's wetting out
  • Reproofing a jacket and overtrousers in one go
  • Race kit lists that need a properly waterproof layer
  • Anyone who'd rather let the machine do it than spray by hand

Less suited to: Trail shoes and anything with a wicking liner. For that, look at our Nikwax range for Fabric & Leather Proof and the spray-on options.

Why We Stock It

A shell that wets out feels like it's leaking, and plenty of runners bin a good jacket for that reason alone. Wash-In is the easiest way to bring an unlined shell back, and it treats the whole thing evenly. It pairs with Tech Wash for a two-cycle refresh.
