Cheapest I can see online from a main retailer by a long margin. The twin packs are at around £19+ on eBay
Previous threads have offered mixed comments on performance - I have never had an issue. A low heat tumble dry after the proofing wash is the key I think. Link to manufacturers instructions (more detailed than the instructions on the bottle) in below link

Excellent product and excellent price for the volume you get.
Though maybe a good deal for the TX Direct.
Went camping, it rained, tent leaked. Tent is now in the bin.
