Nikwax first began as a commercial product back in 1977 established by Nick Brown. The initial idea was simple but it soon became a much larger venture. With outdoor enthusiasts in mind, particularly walkers, Nick recognised the importance of staying dry and created a simple way to weatherproof apparel and soon after many other products. You’ll find a great selection of waterproofing products that can be used to offer protection to a wide range of fabrics and equipment including leather, suede and footwear.
