Nikwax
As with so many outdoor brands and companies, the UK brand Nikwax came about because its founder was unable to find existing market products which met his needs, in this case waterproofing for his walking boots, so he decided to develop his own. From its beginnings in the 1970s, Nikwax (named after its creator Nick Brown) has grown from strength to strength and today provides waterproofing and cleaning solutions for the whole range of contemporary outdoor clothing, footwear and outdoors kit.
Much money is often invested in quality outdoor gear and Nikwax products are designed to both help prolong the life of, and ensure maintained optimum performance of, that gear. Nikwax products, which can be applied through machine washing, as spray-ons or by hand, are simple to use. Each item has been developed to take into account a range of fabrics and as the outdoors clothing, footwear and gear technology changes then Nikwax works to adapt too so that consumers have complete peace of mind in caring for their valuable kit.
Nikwax products are completely safe to use, both for the individual and the environment. The brand has a significant commitment to green practice which has seen them awarded recognition through ‘The Sunday Times Best Green Companies’ scheme for three consecutive years.
Nikwax products, which are tested in both laboratory and the harsh environments they will be used in, provide waterproofing and cleaning solutions for everything from tents to sleeping bags and from walking boots to rucksacks. Many high quality outdoor brands and manufacturers of performance clothing and footwear, including Karrimor, Gelert and Salomon, endorse Nikwax and recommend its use with their products to their own customers.
