      For All Leather Boots

      To prepare footwear for the wettest, most abrasive situations such as step kicking in snow, ice climbing or mixed climbing, use a heavy duty gel waterproofing formula such as ReviveX® Leather Gel. Apply gel to a clean cloth, then buff into the leather.

      NOTE:

      Gel water repellent treatments will darken leather, giving footwear a rich, traditional outdoor look. Many climbers like this darker look. Make sure you like it before you apply ReviveX Leather Gel.

    Paddlesports Tip

    Keep knots and kinks from jamming in your throw bag by stuffing it correctly! Step 1. Untangle and spread out your rope on a clean surface. Step 2. Turn your back to your rope, drape it over your shoulder and begin to coil it into your throw bag. Step 3. Ensure you’re stuffing the bag evenly and that kinks are untwisting behind you.
