"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I use BaseWash on all my synthetic training layers because it actually removes odor instead of covering it up. My shirts dry faster, feel softer, and don’t get that stiff, sweaty feel regular detergent leaves behind.""We reach for Nikwax BaseWash when our synthetic baselayers and activewear start to hold onto odor or lose their quick-drying feel. High-output layers work hard to keep us comfortable, but conventional detergents leave behind residues that trap moisture and prevent fabrics from performing at their best. BaseWash resets these next-to-skin pieces, removing odor-causing buildup while reviving their ability to dry fast and stay breathable during intense training. This deodorizing cleaner enhances cooling efficiency by helping moisture spread evenly across the fabric for quicker evaporation. It keeps technical fibers supple, improves long-term comfort, and eliminates lingering smells instead of masking them."
