Great gear deserves good care! It extends the life of your gear and that is not only good for your wallet, but also for the world! For decades environmentally harmful substances have been used, including PFAS and plastics, which are so persistent that they never break down.
This must change and that is why we recommend OrganoTex® maintenance products for our Virga series. Organotex maintenance products are PFAS-free and biodegradable on the bottle. So nothing is left behind in nature! Waterproof shell layers and many other outer garments have DWR treatments (durable water repellency). This makes the outer fabric water repellent and creates the little beads of water that just run off your garment. After a few seasons it starts wearing off and that’s when the outer fabric starts getting wet. If the garment has a membrane that will still keep water from passing through the garments. You can easily re-apply the DWR with OrganoTex® Spray-On. OrganoTex® Spray-On is the product of many years of research in biomimicry and natural chemistry. It recreates the effect in nature when water run off leaves and leave them dry. This product is water based and breaks down in nature in only seven days, leaving nothing toxic behind. It’s a major game changer compared to conventional fluorocarbon treatments that are highly toxic and never breaks down in nature. OrganoTex® Spray-On is the perfect way to improve the performance and prolong the life of any outer layer. It works on any synthetic garment, but also on organic garments like wool. It’s the perfect spa treatment for your ski jacket, rain coat or padded insulation ECO-FRIENDLY WATER REPELLENT SPRAY to improve water- (and dirt) repellency on most functional fabrics, e.g. polyester, polyamide, wool, cotton and blends. Excellent for functional outdoor garments and gears, e.g. shells, soft-shells, skiwear, wind- breakers, trekking garments, bags, packs, tents e t c. Maintains the fabrics breathability, color and structure. The product is able to dry in room temperature, however preferable use a tumble dryer or drying cabinet to reactivate the DWR impregnation most effectively (if possible). Easy to apply on clean and dry textile. TECHNOLOGY: Inspired by nature´s own chemistry, like a leaf is water repellent. The formulation connects to each fiber deeply (3D) and gives a nice hand feel, no color changes or stiffness and it maintains the breathability very well.
