Mudguts 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Is it possible to re-waterproof ski wear with those can sprays? Or should I just buy new wear? I've had enough of the snow melting on my pants and getting wet. What's people's experiences with those sprays? Link to post Share on other sites
ghostjga 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Its doesnt last long... But if your still going for it, make sure to do it before you get on the slopes... coz, it sticks better on dry fabric... and its too windy up in the mountains to do any spraying... Careful though, the stuff is toxic and should not be inhaled... if you plan to live up to a healthy 80 () Link to post Share on other sites

Do the same bettyx here at my local place. No complaints last season (cost more than 500 though, about 1000 I think) Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't seperating whites and darks being a racialist. I believe in integration so in it all goes.... Link to post Share on other sites
