During use rucksack fabrics will pick up dirt and other contaminants which stop water from beading on the fabric surface and will degrade if they are left damp for long periods. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light both destroys the water repellency and leads to a reduction in fabric tear strength, significantly shortening the lifespan of equipment.

Nikwax Solar Wash is a spray-on technical cleaner and UV blocker for all weatherproof textiles, including cotton, canvas and synthetic fabrics. It cleans effectively, revitalises water repellency and UV protection, increasing fabric strength and extends the life of your tent and gear.

Exposure to UV light and use over time can also destroy the durable water repellency (DWR) layer on your backpack fabric, shortening the lifespan of the equipment.

Both the DWR and UV protection can be replenished by the application of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof, extending the life of your gear.
