The Nikwax Down Proof Speciality waterproofer is for when your down items soak up water. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Down Wash, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning. But, once the gear has been thoroughly used, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax Down Proof, after cleaning with Nikwax Down Wash. This down gear waterproofer will add DWR to the outer fabric of the gear and also the down fill.

Nikwax Down Proof Features:

• Easy to use wash-in waterproofing for all down clothing and sleeping bags.
• Adds water repellency and revitalizes insulation.
• Enhances the performance of your down gear, keeping you warmer and drier.
• Recommended for Nikwax Hydrophobic Down™, Hydrodown™ and all other down clothing and sleeping bags.
