Clothing

Cleaning: Dirt and contaminants can degrade the waterproof coating of your clothing, reducing breathability. Regular detergents may further compromise this protection, while our specialised cleaners help maintain waterproof performance and prolong your clothing’s lifespan.

Waterproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish wears off clothing, allowing water to absorb into the fabric and reducing breathability, making you feel clammy. Reproof with our waterproofing products to restore DWR, keep moisture out, and optimise performance in wet conditions.
