We had a very extensive discussion of this issue (including how to keep Goretex functioning properly) on the WaveLength list prior to the establishment of Paddlewise. Fortunately Hank Hays (of Lightning Paddles) was good enough to extract the essential points and post them on his website (after doing some additional research). Check it out: http://www.paddles.com/users/wildcamp/goretex.html BTW, Hank's website is full of useful information--a veritable treasure trove! :-) Dan Hagen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Oct 31 1999 - 20:21:59 PST
