Using the right waterproofing product is important. Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ Spray-On is fantastic for softshell items with wicking linings, as it provides Durable Water Repellency (DWR) without impairing wicking properties.
However, if wicking linings aren’t present, using Nikwax SoftShell Proof™ Wash-In ensures you won’t miss any areas (complete DWR coverage!) and it’s easy to apply in a washing machine.

Adds Durable Water Repellency, revives breathability and maintains internal wicking properties.
Breathable softshell garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet
inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs
water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability.
Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your softshell jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax SoftShell Proof
