Using Nikwax products is of course a benefit to consumers by saving money with less gear turnover. But, more importantly, it offers an opportunity for the consumer to make a smaller footprint on their environment by extending the life of a jacket and tent for a few seasons. This saves on materials used, environmentally harmful manufacturing processes and transporting of the products, which often involves boats, trains and trucks all for one item.
