To improve or re-impregnate your garments that have lost their water repellency, our own developed Heat Wax is a really good alternative. Waxing your gear is extremely gentle on the environment compared to traditional impregnation methods.

This process is advantageously repeated at regular intervals to preserve the garments water repellency. When applying the wax, you decide the thickness of the layer you wish to apply. Often a thicker layer is applied over parts that are more exposed, such as shoulders and front legs.

After the wax has been applied, it needs to be heated in order to penetrate the fibres of the garments fabric. This is easily done with the help of an iron (with baking paper between the iron and the garment), hair dryer, storm kitchen or even an open fire.

It is recommended to apply a new layer of wax in regular intervals, the wax fades after a couple of washes. When machine washing follow the garment's wash instructions.

Composition: 80% beeswax, 20% paraffin

Please note that the wax is not adapted for stretchy fabrics, knitted garments or softshell fabric. Since the waxing is a treatment of the fabric, the colour tone of the garment can change or get darker.
