BaseWash® beats detergents by not only effectively cleaning synthetic layers, but by deodorizing and inhibiting the build up of body odor.  The conditioning in BaseWash accelerates drying and improves cooling efficiency of synthetic base layers for a piece that is going to smell fresh and perform better after a bath!  Synthetic base layers are fantastic when it comes to creating a comfortable, dry, micro-climate next to your skin when you’re working hard but wicking away body moisture and drying quickly.  But over time bacteria and body oils can lead them to smell more than a little funky.  Unfortunately, conventional detergents and conditions can impair the wicking properties of synthetic activewear.. the very reason you chose the synthetic piece in the first place0 by causing the fabric to maintain, instead of release, moisture.  And over time not even a strong detergent perfume will mask the build up of odors in the fabric.  A sniff test under the arms will confirm that the detergent isn’t working the way you’d expect it to.  Switch to Nikwax BaseWash®.  Once your base layer has been used a few times and is starting to smell, wash it to deodorize, freshen, soften, and enhance drying and cooling. Whether your synthetics are base layers, socks, sports apparel or travel clothing this is the product that will keep them in top shape season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikwax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45033467805992,"sku":"141","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/nikwax-base-wash-10-oz-141.jpg?v=1774637265"},{"product_id":"nikwax-down-wash-direct-300-ml","title":"Nikwax Down Wash Direct - 300 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eNobody buys a down jacket or sleeping bag on impulse, you checked details, compared features, drilled down to find the right one0 now let’s make that bit of fluffy perfection not only last, but maintain its fluff with Nikwax Down Wash Direct.  Down fill provides lightweight insulation but over time dirt and body oils build up on clothing, affecting both the fabric and the down fill.  Dirt is more than grubby, it attracts water, making the down clump, and when we sweat we transfer salts into the down fill.  Washing a down product in conventional laundry detergent will leave behind a hydrophilic (water attracting) residue on both the outer fabric and the down fill.  In fact, the wrong cleaner can cause dirt to redeposit onto the down.. weighing it down and causing clumping. Which is why Nikwax makes a specialized cleaner designed to revitalize down insulation, and restore the DWR, durable water repellent fabric treatment of down filled clothes and sleeping bags.  Restore the restore DWR, revitalize the down insulation, and revive the breathability of your down filled items in.  For best results remember to thoroughly clean the detergent dispenser in your front loading machine, and use Nikwax Down Wash Direct to pre-treat any stubborn stain spots.  Use a low spin cycle at the end of the wash cycle, then use the “spin only” cycle at progressive speeds to squeeze excess moisture out without stressing the down.  Fluff dry on low if the label allows, making sure you have plenty of room for expansion in the dryer, since your piece is going to puff back out again!  We recommend hanging a freshly washed item in a warm, dry, space for at least 24 hours before packing it away to be sure it is thoroughly dry and ready for its next adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikwax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45246876942632,"sku":"1K1","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/nikwax-down-wash-direct-300-ml-1k1.jpg?v=1774637265"},{"product_id":"nikwax-nubuck-suede-proof-sponge-on","title":"Nikwax Nubuck \/ Suede Proof Sponge On","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn easy to use water based waterproofing Nikwax Nubuck \u0026amp; Suede Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimized for nubuck and suede combination footwear and, unlike other waterproofing possibilities, will maintain the texture of the materials.  Wax based waterproofing will flatten the nap on your blue suede shoes, and that would just ruin things.  But when you’re dancing in your blue suede shoes, or working in your boots, your socks draw moisture away from your feet, keeping them dry, and the moisture evaporates through the breathability of the leathers.  If your shoes are absorbing water, or wetting out, their breathability is reduced, with moisture vapor unable to  escape.  Your feet will feel clammy and damp, and it is time to clean the dirt off those shoes and lay a little Nikwax Nubuck \u0026amp; Suede Proof™ on them for a Durable Water Repellency (DWR) finish which prevents water absorption, to keep them breathable and your feet dry and comfortable.

We’ve all been in the situation where you know your gear needs a good wash, but using household detergents and cleaners would jeopardize the functionality of your gear for good. Tech Wash from Nikwax ensures a deep cleanse of your gear while revitalizing the waterproof coating and breathability of your technical garments. Dirt can actually attract water and wet up your gear a lot quicker than if it were clean, so by removing those particles from your gear, it ensures proper function of your gear in protecting you from the elements. What a lot of people might not realize is that the breathability of your gear is dependent upon its water repellency. How might these two features be tied to each other? Well, by revitalizing your gears’ water repellency, Tech Was also helps revive its breathability as well. Using household detergents will actually leave a hydrophilic coating on your gear which actually attracts water instead of repelling it. Needless to say, that this is the opposite result of what you’d be trying to achieve with Tech Wash.
