Down does its best work when it’s clean, resilient and able to loft properly. Nikwax Down Wash Direct is purpose-built to wash and protect down-filled garments and gear - restoring performance without compromising warmth, breathability or longevity. Designed for serious outdoor use, this wash-in cleaner removes dirt and body oils that flatten down and reduce insulation. The result? Better loft, improved warmth and down that’s ready for another season outdoors. Whether it’s a well-worn puffer, sleeping bag or insulated layer, this is down care done properly.
