[NIKWAX Special] Digest video (Part 2: Practical Q&A) has been released

Continuing from the previous episode, we have released the second archive video (practical Q&A 1) of the digest of the event "NIKWAX Care Special" held on November 7th on Youtube, so we will be sharing it.

Video synopsis

00:20 - What should you be most careful about to make your mountain equipment last longer?

A: Beware of moisture! It will teach you some storage tips to avoid moisture.

02:45 - What do you keep in mind when maintaining your clothing, and what mistakes do you often do?

A: Be careful of "detergent pooling" in the hood and pockets! (The washing tips for that are available in the video).

04:45 - NIKWAX's three types of laundry detergents: Tech Wash, Down Wash, and Wool Wash. What is the difference between each? Is one basic type not okay?

A: To sum up, wool is "wool wash." Other than that, "Tech Wash" is also OK. However, using "wool wash" as the base layer makes it even more absorbent. Incidentally, the surprising relationship between "water-repellent down" products, which have become more popular in recent years, and NIKWAX's water-repellent water-repellent, and NIKWAX's water-repellent, was revealed. Continue with the video!

09:18 - NIKWAX's four water-repellent agents are "TX. Direct", "Downproof", "Cottonproof", and "Polar Proof". What is the difference between each?

A: In summary, down proof is water-repellent on both the outer material and feathers, cotton proof is more likely to be applied to coarse fabrics, and polar proof is more suitable for pile fabrics and brushed synthetic materials (fleece and softshells). He also talked about tips on how to wash, water repellent, and dry down products.
