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.

Reliable, well-made shirt with a slightly lighter color than expected
Special Size: Standard, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy, Special Size: Standard, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
This Alimens & Gentle Oxford shirt is a solid, well-made option that holds up well over time. After roughly 20 wears and washes, it’s proven to be durable and fairly resistant to wrinkles, which is a big plus for a cotton button-down. Fit & Comfort: The fit runs a bit on the loose side, but it’s still comfortable and easy to wear. It’s not a slim fit, so if you prefer a more tailored look, keep that in mind. Material & Performance: The fabric is thicker than most standard dress shirts, which makes it a great choice for cooler weather. It provides a bit more structure and warmth, but it may not be as breathable in the summer months. On the plus side, it washes and irons well and maintains its shape over time. Appearance & Versatility: The shirt pairs well with both dress pants and jeans, so it works in both professional and casual settings. One thing to note — the actual color is noticeably lighter than what’s shown in the listing. In my case, I still liked the look and kept it, but it’s something to be aware of when ordering. Bottom Line: A dependable, slightly heavier Oxford shirt that’s great for fall and winter wear. Best for those who prefer a relaxed fit and don’t mind a small variation in color from the listing.

What A Find! Unbelievable Quality and Price!
Special Size: Standard, Size: Large, Color: Plaid-light Blue
I can't believe the quality of this shirt!! I ordered the blue checked one for my husband for a costume. The price was right and I didn't expect much, as it was just for a costume. It came packed into a little box, which I figured showed it would be super thin and cheaply made, but didn't really care as only needed it for one time. Woah!!!! I opened the box and was absolutely floored by the quality and heft to the material. It is crazy. I don't know how they get this shirt into that box, but it is baffling. This shirt is of high quality, with all the seems sewn well. The fabric is every bit as good as the brand of oxford shirt that costs 3 times the price of this one. My husband goes between medium and large. He takes 16" neck in dress shirts. We ordered the large and it fits well. Has a little room, but not in a too big type of way. I washed it once before wearing, and it washed well. Not much shrinking at all. It ironed very easily without a problem. Yes, it is 100% percent cotton. Because of the quality and fit, I will now order additonal colors. My husband loves this shirt. This is an excellent buy!!!

Nice shirt!
Special Size: Standard, Size: Large, Color: White
Fits well. Large is true to size. Soft and breathable. My husband was a Brooks Brothers only shirt wearer. He likes the pinpoint cotton. I washed it cold and dried it on delicate cycle. It is slightly wrinkled but perfect to wear casually with blue jeans.
