About Nikwax

For those of you who aren’t aware, Nikwax has been a global leader in the field of adventure and outdoor waterproofing for 50 years. It is best-known, perhaps, for its cleaning and re-waterproofing products, as well as its treatments for waterproof jackets and hydrophobic down insulation – particularly the brand’s long-standing partnership with Paramo.

For many outdoor enthusiasts, Nikwax has become a trusted partner in the kit maintenance process. When your tent or waterproof jacket is beginning to ‘wet out’ and lose its ability to ‘bead’ rain droplets, Nikwax’s two-step cleaning and proofing products will help refresh and revive your outdoor gear.

There’s a product suitable for every popular outdoor fabric, just remember it’s green for clean and purple for proof.

The brand prides itself on making products that are ‘Formulated For Adventure’. Consequently Nikwax believes its high-performance, low-impact, PFAS-free range is expertly formulated to clean, waterproof and deodorise your cherished outdoor gear, helping you to enjoy the outdoors, embrace the weather (no matter how atrocious) and stay outside safely and comfortably for longer.

It’s also a very eco-conscious brand, with a commitment to donate 1% of its profits to social and environmental causes.

Nikwax believes that adventure should be a mix of whatever activity feels right for you, enabling you to explore the outdoors on your own terms. Whatever, whoever, wherever and however you choose to spend your time outdoors, Nikwax is there to help you enjoy your adventure in comfort.

So, whether you’re off to explore forests and rivers on a solo mission or if you prefer climbing lofty mountains or tackling big trails with a lively group of friends, there is always a Nikwax product to help you along the way.

By adding Nikwax to this adventure mix, you’ll stay dry, warm and enjoy more of the glorious outdoors.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the best Nikwax products to empower your adventure goals in 2025…
