    Hi, for Q2 I put Base Wash from here
    We recommend Nikwax® BaseWash® for all Parameta® fabrics

    I got a bit confused with that one though and I don't know what you found for Tech Wash?

    Looks like both are possible answers - from the FAQs section on the website

    We recommend washing with Nikwax Tech Wash every 4-8 weeks of regular wear.

    Obviously that's not made things any clearer :)

    that's under the 'outer layers' section for waterproof garments?

    The question asks about the Trek and Travel range of shirts, and if you click the Trek and Travel link at the top of the aftercare guide I linked to, it takes you to the Base Layers section and recommends BaseWash as far as I can see?

    :)

    my reasoning was that the [STRIKE]Parameta A[/STRIKE] Trek and Travel garments tend to be outer layers and so where it say's "We recommend Nikwax® BaseWash® for all Parameta® fabrics" in the "Caring for your Base Layer" section probably doesn't apply

    further down in the "Caring for your Outer Layers" section it say's "We recommend cleaning your gaxrments with Nikwax® Tech Wash®, a wash-in non-detergent, biodegradable liquid soap"
