Alternatives to Nikwax products
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2023 3:47 pm
I have nothing against Nikwax products, they're just expensive.
Is anyone using anything other than Techwash and Down Direct for their waterproof-breathable and down gear? This stuff is really expensive and I don't mind taking proper care of it, I'm just not entirely convinced that there aren't other alternatives that work as well, are cheaper, and are easier to find. I'm primarily interested in stuff that's generally locally available. Woolite. Soap flakes. Powdered laundry detergent. Stuff like that. IF IT DOES THE JOB.
Thanks!
