Waterproofing and Care Treatment Nikwax 572P01 (EAN 5020716572009) — fabric and leather waterproofer

Nikwax Waterproofing and Care Treatment is a waterproofer formulated for combined fabric and leather outdoor gear. It restores durable water repellency to cleaned garments, footwear and accessories while helping to maintain breathability. The treatment is suitable for reproofing items after washing or as part of regular maintenance to extend the functional life of jackets, boots and bags.

Advantages

The formulation treats both textiles and leather in a single step, simplifying maintenance routines for mixed-material gear. It renews water repellency without introducing heavy coatings that block moisture transfer, so breathability is preserved.

The product also helps protect seams and stitching by reducing moisture absorption in treated areas.

How to use
