Nikwax is proud to be working with the DofE to maximize the life of gear and kit on all expeditions and activities.

For over 30 years Nikwax have been providing easy to use solutions to keep people and their kit dry and comfortable. We have cleaning and waterproofing products for all materials and types of footwear, outdoor jackets and trousers, rucksacks, tents and more!
Our cleaning and waterproofing is 100% WaterBased, 100% fluorocarbon-free as well as being aerosol-free, non-flammable and free from harmful volatile organic compounds. So you can treat kit safe in the knowledge that no harm will be done to it, you, or the environment. Additionally, kit that is looked after will work better for longer, extending the enjoyment of the outdoors, saving money on replacements and keeping items out of landfill.
Nikwax and the DofE have carried out extensive field testing and have selected the products that will be most beneficial on DofE expeditions. All are easy to use, safe to use and will keep you dry. Plus, for all items sold in the Nikwax/DofE range, Nikwax will make a contribution to the Charity to help continue their work with young people.
