RyanKnapton Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Just wanted to share this... I know there's been massive threads on using shoe-goo, and other types of product to both help clothing last longer or either slide in the snow better. Since late last spring I've been gluing slabs of fabric vinyl on the bottom side of my jacket sleeves, and when using a similar color, I think it ends up looking nicer than some of the other options. Previously I was using Gorilla tape, (cheap and easy), but it really stuck out and was a visual eyesore IMO. I know a lot of you purposely don't ever want to touch the snow... but for those that like to lay it down when its velvety.. I've been really pleased with doing this. (tip: watch at 2x speed till the shred part). :) Ultra sad to hear about Bomber. :( I was nervous AF when attending my first ATC (knowing I'd be pretty much the only soft-booter attending an event for alpine riders), and when we arrived, Jim welcomed me with a beer and told me I wouldn't meet a nicer group of people. He was definitely right. Will definitely miss shreddin with ya'll there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishsurfer Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I've got a few old jackets im tempted to try this with and im also tempted to try it on an old hoodie for when i ride in the fridge.... I love riding in hoodies but i may aswell be throwing out an anchor when carve on an elbow or do a superman carve.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKnapton Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 For sure, hit it up on an old jacket or hoodie... and I'm betting it'll be your new favorite for when you're doing em. I also use these knee pads under my jacket for a softer feel too. :D https://www.burton.com/us/en/p/burton-basic-knee-pad/W18-102891.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishsurfer Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I ride alot inside a snow dome which is only around -2c so a jacket alot of the time is far to warm to ride in so i end riding in a hoodie to try and stay cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
