Caring For Waterproof/Breathable Fabrics

Caring For Down-Filled Clothing
Caring For Cotton Clothing
Cotton clothing absorbs considerable amounts of water. Cotton clothing can also be dangerous because when wet it has very poor insulation qualities. “Cotton kills” is the adage of many outdoor enthusiasts because they know that it will contribute to hypothermia in wet, cold conditions. Cotton Proof from Nikwax can add water repellency to cotton, making it safer and more usable in the outdoors.
