    a necessity

    if you live in the UK, you basically live in rain gear. Nothing works better to keep your jacket in top condition than this stuff. I use this with the TX Direct, and my rain gear lasts for years.

    Fantastic stuff to wash you base layers in. Keeps them so that the sweat is expelled & not stuck to your body.

    Very easy to use, jacket, trousers and other waterproof gear comes up like new. Zips and fastenings all work smoothly again after use.

    I work outdoors, and I bought this to wash and re-waterproof my jacket and over trousers. They came out looking new, and were completely waterproof again. Will definitely be buying more of this. Really easy to use.

    Used to rejuvenate an old jacket. Add a cap full to the washing machine, press start and 30mins later lovely clean jacket that has regained some of its waterproofing and looks like new. Also bought the tx.direct spray on to complete the job. Will use again.

    4_5 out of 5

    I have been using this product for a couple of years to clean my waterproofs.
    It does what it says on the tin. I only had issue with one of the many bottles I bought over time. It seemed to have clumped material at the bottom of the bottle and my waterproofs smelt of soap. However, it could have just been a "not so great batch".
    I still buy it, and will continue to.

    Used Techwash on my Berghaus Hydroshell Elite coat and followed by TX Direct, it was 100% waterproof again. Much relief as coats aren't cheap.

    Used with TX Direct, and just put my anorak in the washing machine and dried outdoors. On the Medway it was totally waterproof, water just beaded up and rolled off. Good products.
