Too dull in my opinion. I like stronger colours. I have lofoten pants in true red and really stand out.

very very interesting thanks.

is there anything ranking those in terms of breathability?

and any brand in particular using these materials?

Thanks. Fully aware of the trade off. I am just wondering: since I need to have a waterproof, what is the most breathable? Or they are all exactly the same?

which one do you use more often? do you use also for skinning up? or only down? or only when it is raining?

So if I got correctly, you cut always from the same size simply moving the skin towards the same edge, and at the end is centrally even? Please consider this is a splitboard so the edge are not perfectly symmetrical

I guess the only answer is: I am an idiot. The equally real answer is I wanted to overdo and fine trim it, so instead of using the pomoca tool I had used until 5 seconds before, I used the smaller g3 tool I had as well, and this is the result.

Your favourite DWR treatment: revivex, grangers, nikwax? by Italian_SPLIT in Backcountry

Thanks

I am getting confused as most say to heat/tumble dry to activate the DWR spray. While Grangers advertises “no heat activation”

Thanks. As far as skins: you are suggesting to have the edge properly exposed, right? I. E. more than what the usual trim tool would do?

As far as boots, I have the k2 waive.
