Jed Anderson is one of the fastest rising stars in snowboarding today, and for good reason. His technical wizardry--not just on rails, but on anything that he points his board at--has earned him a level of respect from anyone who’s seen him ride. Airblaster has known and supported Jed from the days when the copious quantities of cave-boy hair on his head more than made up for the lack of it on his balls. And ever since those days, he’s been ripping harder than anyone his age. The only thing that’s changed in the last few years, besides the arrival of hairy Jed balls, is that Jed Anderson has decided to show everyone what he can do on his snowboard. So now you know.

How do I clean outerwear?
Note:
All of the outerwear pants and jackets that we sell, and all water repellent finishes, work at their best if the garments are kept clean. Each garment should be washed once or twice a season to keep them working properly and lasting longer, and Nikwax is the best stuff for the job.
The Nikwax two-stage treatment is the cleaning and re-proofing sequence which will restore the original performance of manufacturer’s clothing, footwear or equipment. Cleaning your outerwear with Nikwax re-proofs and maintains breathability. Using Nikwax TX Direct adds and renews water repellecy and revives breathability. Warning: Conventional detergents can seriously damage water-repellency, breathability and wicking properties.
Waterproof Test
A good test on any type of waterproof gear is to see if water beads on the surface to form fine droplets. If droplets bead, this is a sign the gear is waterproofed and is repelling water. If gear doesn’t bead but ‘wets out’, you will see darker patches where water is being absorbed through the surface. This is a sign the gear is not performing and requires the Nikwax waterproofing treatment.
Nikwax Tech Wash removes contaminants, dirt and everyday grime that masks the water-repellent coatings on waterproof items. Nikwax Tech Wash is non-detergent so it won't damage the waterproof membrain in the outerwear.
Nikwax TX Direct is to re-apply the durable water repellant (or DWR) coating to the outside of the garment. If the jacket or pants are only a year or so old you might not need to use the TX Direct too, but if you are going to use it you need to wash whatever you're going to waterproof first. This is the stuff if your pants are no longer waterproof but can't afford new ones.
Nikwax Down Wash does the same thing as the Tech Wash but it's gentler so that it doesn't ruin the puff of your favorite puffy jacket.
Nikwax Lether applies just to the outer surface of the leather that you want to waterproof. This stuff needs at least overnight to settle into the leather before use.
