      How UV Tech™ Works

      Materials like Hypalon®, PVC, fiberglass, roto-molded plastic, and other materials are damaged, bleached and ultimately destroyed through use and by sun exposure. UV Tech protects and rejuvenates surfaces, reducing cracking, helping to block sun damage and restoring your boat’s original good looks.

      Protect & Restore Your Boat

      Every 30-45 days of sun exposure treat surfaces of boats, PFD’s, spray skirts, paddles, and dry suit gaskets with UV Tech™ Surface Protectant & Rejuvenator to protect surfaces, enhancing color and minimizing the appearance of scratches.

    Boot Use Tip

    TRUE OR FALSE? Heavy duty mountain boots are obsolete for backpacking. True. But while the ultralight backpacking crowd (carrying 20 lb. packs) get by on trails using trail running shoes or even good sport sandals, most folks carrying heavier loads should have some ankle support. Well-made light hikers with a 3/4 or full-height ankle collar are usually enough for moderate loads on most trails.
