Which waterproofing for softshells?
Softshell impregnation – why is it so important?
Breathable softshell clothes have waterproof and windproof properties - it is not without reason that most tourists choose them when going on a long hike. To keep them in the best possible condition and enjoy them for years, in addition to washing, it is worth introducing regular impregnation. This simple procedure will not only affect the life of the jacket or trousers, but will also renew its properties during rain. Thanks to systematic impregnation, softshell clothing is water-resistant and wicks away moisture even many years after purchase. When deciding on impregnation, it is worth paying attention to the effect of a specific preparation and how it is used. We can choose from both impregnations added to the laundry and those in the form of an easy-to-use spray.

One way to impregnate softshell clothing is to add a special washing preparation. A solution worth recommending is, among others: Softshell Proof impregnation by Nikwax , maintaining the waterproof and breathable properties of this type of clothes. All you need to do is add the right amount of it to the laundry - its hydrophobic properties are activated when the jacket is air dried.
