Question 2

Can this be used on an insulated jacket that uses synthetic insulation like primaloft silver insulation active? bd first light stretch hoody?

Accepted Answer

I use TX Direct on everything that can be safely waterproofed. And that is just about All of our outdoor wear. I use Tech Wash first then put back in washer for TX Direct treatment, then in dryer to further set. I've been using it for years on our winter snow sports gear & it never disappoints!
