Venturi Clothing
 
We just got back from a fantastic break in Thredbo...... but my lovely white ski jacket is looking a bit mucky......

The jacket's care instructions say I must use

"liquid detergent for membrane or Venturi® clothing (available from specialist sports retailers)"

I've drawn a blank at my local shops, and for once Google hasn't really helped.

Does anyone know what the label is on about, and where can I get some from, say, Sydney centre?

Thanks!

I'd try a good outdoor shop. Sounds like a waterproofing agent possibly?

Is this not the sort of stuff you're after?

Thanks Spartacus - I guess it is...... I just phoned skiandboard, they had never heard of Venturi, said that NikWax will do the job..... I will give it a go - if next year my jacket leaks then I suppose it was the wrong stuff!!

You can get the Nikwax that goes into the washing machine. It's pretty good.
