Why technical base layer fabrics dry quickly and cool you down…
- Synthetic base layers are designed to be worn next to the skin, providing user comfort by maintaining body temperature and controlling moisture. The fabrics used are highly wicking (they will spread moisture out over a large area), fast drying and breathable. It is therefore essential to maintain these properties when caring for base layers.
Wash your base layers when they start to smell…
- Once your base layer has been used a few times and is starting to smell, wash it with Nikwax BaseWash® to deodorize, freshen, soften, and enhance drying and cooling. Always apply this product to used synthetic base layers, socks, sports apparel and travel clothing to keep them in perfect condition.
How Nikwax BaseWash® makes your synthetic base layers perform better…
- Nikwax BaseWash® is easy to use as it cleans and conditions at the same time.
- Nikwax BaseWash® refreshes your synthetic base layers by deodorizing and maintains freshness by preventing odor build up when in use.
- Nikwax BaseWash® also enhances and revitalizes the wicking properties of synthetic base layers and increases breathability. This helps the fabric to spread sweat, dry quickly, and keep you more comfortable in all conditions.
- Nikwax BaseWash® outperforms household detergents and fabric conditioners at improving wicking, accelerating drying, and removing and preventing odor.
