WHY
BUILD
THIS?

On day three of a week long hike in Chequamegon-Nicolet Forest, the rain began. The waxed jacket I had packed was easy enough to retrieve but something was off, wax was flaking from the elbows, seams and creases. I thought nothing of it until rain began pouring in as though no wax had been applied. Normally some damp wouldn’t be a problem but autumn temperatures were dipping below 45 on this fateful evening. I had both sets of cloths on at the time and my camp stove was hardly enough heat to keep warm. Fighting hypothermia and jogging around my camp all night to maintain body temperature was not my idea of an enjoyable outing. I had used aerosol sprays, “all natural” bars, cans and every type of weatherproofing wax on the market with lackluster performance.  Do not use Linseed Oil (this will spontaneously ignite if left to evaporate). Initial performance would impress. A stylish sheen with “natural” wax and matte residue with aerosol spray’s. Both would suffer the same lack of durability and low lifespan associated will all these products. After much research and testing a new blend was developed and so to a company to provide the best performance.
