Description

Nikwax takes great care to minimize the effect of Nikwax products on the environment and on you, the consumer. All Nikwax conditioning products are WaterBased, non-flammable, non-hazardous, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

WHY YOU SHOULD USE IT:

Synthetic base layers are designed to be worn next to the skin, providing user comfort by maintaining body temperature and controlling moisture. The fabrics used are highly wicking (they will spread moisture out over a large area), fast drying and breathable. It is therefore essential to maintain these properties when caring for base layers.

All active people should use base layers to effectively manage body moisture and regulate temperature. Hill walkers, runners, cyclists, and mountaineers are among those who use base layers to maintain their comfort while active.

WHEN YOU SHOULD USE IT:

Once your base layer has been used a few times and is starting to smell, wash it with Nikwax BaseWash® to deodorize, freshen, soften, and enhance drying and cooling. Always apply this product to used synthetic base layers, socks, sports apparel and travel clothing to keep them in perfect condition.
