For waterproofing softshells

Why breathability depends upon water repellency...

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

Softshells provide versatility…

Softshell fabrics combine desirable properties of hardshells and fleeces to improve user comfort while providing protection in most conditions.

Softshells are breathable and stretchy while also being highly water and wind repellent. They fit the shape of the wearer, allow the movement of moisture away from the body and at the same time they shed water and protect against wind chill. Softshells provide a versatile outer layer that can cope with most conditions.

To maintain their water repellency and breathability it is essential that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating is maintained. Nikwax SoftShell Proof  has been specifically formulated to maintain optimum performance of softshell fabrics.

Use Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ when your softshell garment soaks up water...

Your softshell garment could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech 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 garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax SoftShell Proof , after cleaning first with Nikwax Tech Wash®.

Softshell garments need Nikwax SoftShell Proof  to maintain performance…

Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and use PFCs. Aerosol products are flammable. PFCs pose a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term health of the consumer.

Nikwax Softshell Proof  is water-based, non-flammable, and PFC-Free. Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimized for softshell clothing, providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) while maintaining breathability. Nikwax SoftShell Proof requires no heat to develop its DWR, so it is not necessary to use a tumble drier for best results.

Cleaning properly can be as important as waterproofing…

Using the right cleaning product is as important as using the right waterproofing product. Conventional detergents leave behind a thin water-absorbent film on materials, which masks their water repellency. Therefore, always clean your waterproof garments with Nikwax Tech Wash®. Remember that dirt itself works against water repellency, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.

How Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ Wash-In protects…

Nikwax SoftShell Proof  Wash-In is easy and quick to apply in a washing machine, and its highly effective Durable Water Repellency (DWR) develops on air drying. The washing machine application ensures that the treatment goes right through the garment, treating seams, tapes and cords, as well as the fabric. Also, as the need for tumble drying is removed, this saves energy and protects more vulnerable, older, garments from heat. Nikwax SoftShell Proof  Wash-In has been specifically designed and optimized for softshell garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibers allowing moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining breathability.

Award winning tuxedo!
Size: Large, Color: Baby Pink, Size: Large, Color: Baby Pink
Love this tuxedo suit! I’ve worn it a few times - to two different weddings and an Academy Awards viewing party, where I even won for best dressed. I get so many comments on it. The jacket and vest fit perfectly, however the pants are long and I had to hem them, but “stitch witchery” tape worked fine. The pants are also a little “stiff” - not a smooth fabric. But for occasional wear, it’s fine! The bow tie was sold separately.

Slim fit
Size: Large, Color: Brown
I recently purchased the brown slim-fit suit and am very impressed! For reference, I’m 6’2” and 222 lbs, and while I usually wear a size large, I went with an XL based on the fit advice and it was the perfect choice. This suit does run a bit small, so ordering a size up is definitely the way to go. The slim fit is flattering and modern without being restrictive, and the rich brown color adds a unique and stylish touch to any occasion. The material feels high-quality, and the overall craftsmanship is excellent. If you're looking for a sharp, well-fitting suit, this one is a fantastic option—just be mindful of the sizing!

Good Decision !
Size: Large, Color: Dark Black, Size: Large, Color: Dark Black
Upon receiving the suit we were definitely skeptical because certain materials don't match the pictures. But Baby when we say this one came and showed up. It was great material , not cheap feeling if you get what Im saying. The pants, jacket and vest all came as it said it would. Nothing was missing! It came pressed and very wrinkle free so it was taking care of prior to shipping out. We got a Large for my son because of course he wanted a slimmer fit. But it did work out. He had enough room to comfortably be able to move. And for it truly was a steal for how much it costed. This literally felt like it was suppose to cost a few hundred , but it was so affordable.
