Nikwax, a leader in technical cleaners and waterproofing products for outdoor gear and apparel, has joined with 686 to provide its fans with safe and effective ways to keep their gear performing at its best over the life of the garment.
“As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’re responsible for making sure the goods we produce perform to their fullest potential for the longest time possible. A dedicated partnership with Nikwax supports this commitment,” said Jake Moyer, 686’s Customer Experience Manager. “[Nikwax’s] PFAS-free aftercare products empower our fans with simple solutions to extend the performing lifetimes of their 686 outerwear investments while doing so in an environmentally responsible way that aligns with our key sustainability pillars.”
With proper care and maintenance, apparel lasts longer and performs better, all while minimizing environmental impact. The partnership highlights 686’s understanding that sustainability is not a destination but a way of behaving to lessen its impact on the planet.
To kick off the partnership, 686 will offer free samples of Tech Wash to fans purchasing through its site during the initial launch of its 23/24 outerwear collection later this fall. Additionally, 686 will be using products, education and assets provided by Nikwax to ensure the best possible product care experience for every fan.
