Compatible with leading outdoor brands and fabrics like GORE-TEX, this eco-friendly, PFAS-free spray revitalizes your gear’s water resistance without compromising breathability. Aerosol-free and non-flammable, it’s the essential aftercare for rain, ski, and snow gear—just remember to clean first with Nikwax Tech Wash for best results. ## Description High performance waterproofer designed to enhance performance and revitalize the breathability of waterproof clothing, keeping you warmer and drier Review: Brings Your Gear Back to Life - I've tried several DWR restoration products over the years, and Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On is the one I keep coming back to because it simply works. I recently used it on my Rab waterproof shell, which had started to wet out after many miles in rain, wind, and regular use. The membrane was still performing, but the outer fabric was absorbing water instead of beading it off. After cleaning the jacket and applying the spray evenly, the difference was immediately noticeable. Easy to Apply The spray bottle gives good control, allowing me to treat only the exterior fabric where it's needed. I paid a little extra attention to the shoulders, hood, cuffs, and upper back—areas that see the most abrasion from backpack straps and constant exposure to the weather. Real Performance on the Trail Once the treatment had dried, I tested the jacket on several hikes in wet conditions. Water beaded up again and rolled off the surface instead of soaking into the face fabric. The jacket stayed lighter during prolonged rain, dried faster afterward, and remained noticeably more comfortable throughout the day. What I appreciate most is that it restores water repellency without compromising breathability. That's especially important during long climbs, where moisture from the inside can become just as uncomfortable as rain from the outside. Extends the Life of Good Gear Quality shells from brands like Rab are built to last for years, but even the best DWR finish eventually wears off. Rather than replacing an expensive jacket, this treatment restores the performance it was designed to have. For me, it's become part of regular gear maintenance, just like cleaning boots or checking trekking poles before a trip. Final Thoughts If your waterproof jacket is still structurally sound but the outer fabric is wetting out, I highly recommend giving Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On a try before considering a replacement. It's easy to use, economical, and restores the water repellency that makes a good shell perform the way it should. For anyone who spends serious time in the mountains, it's one of those maintenance products that's worth keeping on the shelf. Review: Works great - apply in grass - I used this on a handful of older rain shells that had lost their DWR and were wetting out in light drizzle. One treatment each and water beads up and rolls off again like the jackets were new. It genuinely restores the repellency rather than just masking the problem for a couple of wears. Application is simple — clean shell, spray it on evenly while damp, wipe the excess. One tip worth knowing: do it outside on the grass. The overspray goes farther than you'd expect and you don't want it landing on a driveway, deck, or garage floor. Doing it out in the yard makes cleanup a non-issue. The 500ml bottle covered multiple jackets with room left over, so the value is solid. Does exactly what it claims for rain protection. Will keep it on hand. ## Features - High Performance Waterproofing: Designed to enhance performance and revitalize the breathability of waterproof clothing, keeping you warmer and drier - Easy Application: Spray-on waterproofing solution adds water repellency, revives breathability, and reduces water absorbency - Versatile Compatibility: Recommended for rain and ski jackets, waterproof fabrics, technical clothing, GORE-TEX, Patagonia, North face, Columbia, Outdoor Research, Cotopaxi and Arc'teryx - Safe Formula: Nikwax products are PFAS-free, water based, non-persistent, and contain no optical brighteners or added scent - Convenient Design: Aerosol-free spray and non-flammable formulation for safe and easy use - Preparation Required: All items must first be cleaned with Nikwax Tech Wash before waterproofing, as household detergents leave behind water attracting residues - Generous Size: 500ml bottle provides ample waterproofing treatment for multiple garments and outdoor gear items ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0019GLADA | | Best Sellers Rank | #456 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1 in Camping Sleeping Bag Accessories | | Brand | Nikwax | | Brand Name | Nikwax | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 7,181 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00703861000249 | | Item Form | spray | | Item Type Name | Apparel Aftercare | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Nikwax | | Model Number | 572 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 572 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Waterproofing | | Specific Uses For Product | Waterproofing | | UPC | 703861000249 703861001352 703861000232 | | Unit Count | 16.9 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nikwax - **Item Form:** spray - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Waterproofing - **Specific Uses For Product:** Waterproofing ## Images ![Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing, 500ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bNXYEOpGL.jpg) ![Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing, 500ml - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615DBfKxv2L.jpg) ![Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing, 500ml - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81L7LPyDpAL.jpg) ![Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing, 500ml - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aolbPmbHL.jpg) ![Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing, 500ml - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816BQk-lThL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this compare to their "wash-in" version? I assume it would be more economical since it's not being diluted by a bunch of water?** A: Actually just the opposite... the Spray-On variety is simply a watered down version of the Wash-in, which means you are paying for a diluted product. I have had great results making my own Spray-in solution by using 1/3 Wash-in product and 2/3 water in my own spray bottle. **Q: Can you spray it on a dry garment?** A: Spraying this on a dry (oops!) 100% polyester coat resulted in terrible spotting stains. Any ideas how to remove the stains? I've tried baking soda, vinegar, stain remover, etc. and the coat has been washed over three times. If anything, the spots look worse. I've ruined a brand new coat by forgetting to apply it to WET fabrics! **Q: if you run out of the small spray bottle and wanted to refill, can the wash in work or should just buy a new bottle and spayer?** A: In a pinch, the wash in could work to refill the spray bottle but the sprayis a different formulation designed to work better as a spray. **Q: Can this work on a polyester shower curtain ? If so, would it have to be applied often?** A: Used it on my London Fog raincoat (polyester). Not a petro-solvent vehicle; water soluble. So, no problem. Has a chemical smell for a few days as it dries and sets. Goes away in about 4 days. No discoloration. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings Your Gear Back to Life *by G***I on June 29, 2026* I've tried several DWR restoration products over the years, and Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On is the one I keep coming back to because it simply works.
