    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.

    Dive Health

    Diving is dehydrating – especially in tropical heat. Dehydration contributes to decompression sickness, fatigue and cardiovascular stress. To make up for water lost while diving, drink a gallon of water each day.
  • Stove Tip

    Stove Tip

    If your butane stove is struggling in cold weather, set it in a pot lid and add 3/4” (15mm) of cool water. The stove will roar to full power (the fuel is now at least 32˚ F, 0˚ C). Do not use hot water in the lid.
