Well after discovering my army issue gore-tex bivi lets water in to an extent I figure I best nixwax it but I have no idea which one? tent and gear solar proof? cotton proof? TX direct wash in? TX direct spray?
Additionally I've just washed my Helly Hansen jacket (I cant find an item name on it) but it's made of:
Face: Polyamide
Back: Polyurethane
Lining1:polyester
Lining2:polymide
Which nixwax should I use with it? Nixwax TX direct wash in? TX direct spray? Soft shell wash in? :banghead:
Any help would be very much apreciated thanks :)

All the army issue gortex bivvi bags I have ever used have leaked at the seams where they have sealing tape on them, rather than the gortex failing as its sandwiched between two very hardwearing layers, so check these areas carefully as you can glue any seam tape thats starting to lift back down with any tent seam sealer from camping shops.
