best snow gear waterproofer Australia

Formulated for Snowsports!

From early chairlifts to late afternoon laps and a well earned drink at après ski, winter days in the Australian Alps are all about making the most of your time on snow. Whether you are a confident regular chasing fresh corduroy or a first timer finding your rhythm on the learner runs, the right kit makes a real difference.

Australian snow conditions can be changeable. One run might be crisp and dry, the next damp and heavy. Add wind, sleet or the odd bluebird day, and your gear needs to work hard to keep you warm, dry and comfortable. That performance does not just come from what you wear, but how well it is looked after.

Snow, sweat and everyday dirt slowly break down technical fabrics, reducing breathability and water repellency over time. With the right care products, your skiwear can keep performing throughout the season and beyond.

Here are our top three ski wear care essentials to help your gear handle everything from mellow greens to fast blacks, and all the après ski moments in between.

Tech Wash®

A proper clean is the foundation of good gear care. Tech Wash® is designed specifically for synthetic and waterproof outerwear, cleaning away dirt and impurities without damaging technical coatings.

Unlike standard detergents, it helps revitalise existing water repellency while restoring breathability. Clean fabric works better, feels lighter and keeps you more comfortable on the hill.

Ideal for ski jackets, pants, insulated layers and outer shells.

TX.Direct®

If your jacket or pants are wetting out even after washing, TX.Direct® is the next step. This treatment restores durable water repellency to synthetic ski wear, helping water bead and roll off the surface again.

It also maintains breathability, allowing moisture vapour to escape so you stay dry inside as well as out. This is especially useful in Australia’s variable snow conditions, where wet snow and mixed weather are common.

Best used after cleaning when water no longer beads on the fabric.

Glove Proof

Hands feel the cold first, especially when gloves start absorbing moisture. Glove Proof is a highly effective sponge on waterproofer suitable for leather, synthetic, combination and padded gloves.

It helps prevent water absorption while maintaining grip and flexibility, so you can keep control of poles, bindings and zips without stiff or soggy gloves slowing you down.

An essential for ski gloves and mitts that see regular use.

Keep your gear ready for every run

Taking care of your skiwear means fewer distractions on the mountain and more time enjoying the ride. With a simple care routine, your gear will stay warmer, drier and more comfortable, helping you make the most of every snow day.

From first timers building confidence to seasoned riders squeezing in every lap, a well-cared-for kit lets you focus on the fun, and enjoy that après ski feeling even more.
