At Rigad.cz, you will find not only functional clothing but also specialized maintenance products designed to preserve its performance and extend its service life. The range includes waterproofing treatments, technical detergents for functional fabrics, and eco-friendly laundry solutions suitable for everyday garments.

Restoring Water Repellency

Outer layers such as jackets and pants are typically treated with a factory-applied DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Over time and repeated washing, this treatment gradually loses effectiveness. To maintain water resistance, it is necessary to reapply an appropriate waterproofing product.

Waterproofing treatments work by bonding active agents to the fabric surface, restoring its ability to repel water while preserving breathability. This applies to both synthetic materials (such as polyester) and natural fabrics (including cotton or leather). Properly applied treatment helps prevent moisture penetration from the outside without sealing the fabric structure, allowing internal moisture vapor to escape — similar to the functional principle of membrane systems such as Gore-Tex^®.

Technical Detergents for Functional Clothing

Functional garments should not be washed with standard household detergents. Conventional detergents can clog fabric pores and leave residues that impair breathability and moisture management. Over time, these residues may accumulate and reduce the garment’s technical performance.

Specialized detergents for functional clothing are formulated to gently clean technical fabrics without damaging membranes, insulation, or water-repellent finishes. Using the correct product helps preserve both comfort and performance in demanding outdoor conditions.

Eco-Friendly Laundry Solutions

For users who prioritize sustainability, we also offer environmentally responsible laundry products. These detergents are typically free from microplastics, phosphates, optical brighteners, sulfates, dyes, and unnecessary preservatives. They effectively clean garments while minimizing environmental impact and helping maintain fabric quality and color longevity.

Proper clothing care ensures that your equipment continues to perform reliably in the field and remains ready for demanding use.
