Nikwax: More Than Just Waterproofing
Nikwax are world leaders in innovative, PFC-free clothing and gear systems, creating outstanding materials and aftercare for outdoor explorers, whilst caring for the environment. They are the only aftercare company to have never used aerosols or fluorocarbons and to have fully balanced out our historical operational carbon emissions by restoring forests in Ecuador.
Brand History Nikwax was first produced as a commercial product in a North London flat. In 1977, at 22 years of age, Nick mixed his first order with a discarded tea urn, a primus stove, a jug and materials bought from a local hardware store. Before he knew it, Nick was selling ‘the product’ to eight countries. ‘The product’ – a non-softening waterproofing wax for leather boots was so effective that it set the standard for a new breed of aftercare products under the Nikwax brand.
