I was looking for a supplier of this product and was delighted when Sportsbikeshop revealed they stocked them. The speed of delivery was excellent and I have no complaints there. As for the product itself, I followed the instructions but am not convinced I got the full waterproofing promised.
Breathable softshell garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, the durable water repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your softshell jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Softshell Proof. Easy and quick to apply, its highly durable water repellency (DWR) develops on air drying. Nikwax Softshell Proof Spray-On has been specifically designed and optimised for softshell garments; it leaves a flexible water resistant treatment on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability. The spray-on application allows for direct treatment of areas which require it most, such as elbows and seams on jackets, and will not compromise the properties on internal wicking liners.
