How annoying when the snow starts to stick to your skins!
New skins are treated to be hydrophobic. If mohair skins start to collect snow, it is always a sign that it is already worn-out. If you have block wax in your backpack, you can solve the problem for the day. If you allow the waterproofing spray to dry properly the evening before, this will prevent the skin from snow build-up for a much longer period.
Hydrophobic
The impregnation protects the climbing skin from moisture and dirt and helps prevent snow buildup. We use a PFC-free treatment, avoiding fluorinated chemicals that can accumulate in the environment and in living organisms.
