    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    Comments about Nikwax TX-Direct 2.0 Wash-In - 10 oz.:

    Wash your waterproof / breathable shell garment according to Nikwax's instructions (surfactant-free powder detergent will do the trick as well as Nikwax tech-wash ), and use TX-Direct and your Durable Water Repellant (DWR) performance will be as good as new!I have successfully treated 1-2 garments in my top-loading washer by lowering the water level and using only 1/3 of a bottle of TX-Direct, as per the front-loading instructions and the treatment has held up as well as on garments washed with per top-loading instructions (which call for a full bottle and large load setting for up to 3 garments).This product only has 2 drawbacks:1) the cost: at [$] per wash, it's pricy, especially if you wash your gear a lot. Use the front-loading instructions, and [$] to treat 2 garments makes it much more cost effective.2) as mentioned by another reviewer, this product can leave a faint, hazy residue in creases and seams when you're done. This residue can be rubbed off with a wet towel, once the garment is dry.Note for those who claims TX-Direct permanently spotted their garments (something I've never seen over 20 years & hundreds of washes): you need to fill your washer with water first, and allow product to agitate BEFORE you throw your garments in. If you poured this DWR wash undiluted directly on top of a garment, then that's what caused your spots.

        The nikwax products are unbeatable. TX Direct revives waterproofing and ventilation. We make a yearly laundr-o-mat trip to TX Direct and Polar Proof everything in our winter and hard weather wardrobe. There are funny little gunk balls in the pockets and crevaces of the washed clothes but they wear away after a couple days.

        After getting my Arc-Teryx Theta jacket filthy helping someone change a tire, I washed the Gore-tex jacket with Nikwax Tech Wash and treated it with TX treatment. Both products worked great and almost all the stains came out in the first wash.

                I purchased this item after reading all of the excellent reviews. I have a fairly new Marmot Gore-tex jacket that desperately need to be re-waterproofed after a washing machine detergent mishap. First I tried applying the wash-in treatment via the "hand-wash" method. No luck. So then I tried the washing machine method and awoke this morning to find the jacket is still happily absorbing water droplets, ARGH! It did not work AT ALL. I am not sure that the wash-in product is the way to go, have used spray-on in the past and will be reverting back to that. Not sure why this did not work for me while working for others.
