A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
Your softshell jacket has lost its water repellency and needs cleaning after muddy hikes. Regular detergent strips waterproof coatings, but dirt blocks breathability. Nikwax Tech Wash & Softshell provides a complete two-step system to clean then waterproof your softshell garments.
This combo pack contains Tech Wash to clean without damaging waterproof coatings, plus Softshell Proof to restore water repellency. The two-step process ensures your softshell clothing performs like new. Unlike single treatments, this system addresses both cleaning and waterproofing needs.
First, clean with Tech Wash to remove dirt and detergent residues. Then apply Softshell Proof to restore water repellency while maintaining breathability. Both treatments work in washing machines or by hand, with no tumble drying needed.
Softshell garments rely on breathability for comfort during active use. This system restores water repellency without blocking fabric pores, keeping you dry from outside moisture while allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Use on softshell jackets, trousers, and other technical clothing. For your complete outdoor wardrobe, browse our men's outdoor jackets and coats that benefit from this treatment. Check our men's outdoor trousers and shorts for more softshell clothing. Visit our men's outdoor clothing section for complete technical clothing ranges.
Each pack contains 2 x 150ml bottles providing enough treatment for multiple garments. The compact size fits easily in your gear bag for field maintenance. Both treatments are water-based and environmentally safe.
Wylie's Outdoor World owner Drew has maintained softshell clothing for over 15 years of Scottish hiking and camping.

We offer a 30-day (from the date of purchase) returns and exchange policy. You may return most new, unopened, unworn, and unused items within 30 days of your order date for a refund or exchange. However you must contact us within 14 days to inform us. (Some items in our store are non-returnable) such as used batteries, and underwear for example. We must be able to resell a product again as brand new.
If you need to return an item, simply log in to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu, and click the Return Item(s) button. Please let us know if you would prefer a refund, or an exchange. Drew will confirm your selection and send you an invoice (If applicable for exchanges) and await your return to arrive with us.
Please, allow Drew 3 to 5 days to process your returns or exchanges. However, the "turnaround" time is often faster than this.
We ship to UK mainland predominantly. However, we can ship internationally on request.
We use DPD exclusively for all UK orders as standard. We offer free shipping on all orders over £100, orders under £100 are charged a £5.99. (Some long, or overly heavy/large items will vary in shipping cost)
Drew also packs customers orders personally. We ask you to allow 2 days to process orders. This allows Drew adequate time to process orders, be the sole point of contact for all our customers, and manage our website. On average delivery time is 3 to 5 working days. However, Drew is quite efficient. Orders are often processed and delivered in a shorter time.
