SkydiveNFlorida 0 #1 December 3, 2004 There's a new type of scotchgard with red caps, one is the old one, one is "new and improved" and has different ingredients. Anyone used the new one? -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #2 December 3, 2004 Mine says, "NEW Multi Use Formula! More Fabrics, even silk!" I'll give it credit for allowing me to remove grease on the white portion of my rig (that a Porter rubbed on me) off of it like it was nothing. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We already bought the original and need it for use tonight, but when it is due for repack it'll probably be due for a wash and maybe i'll pick up the new formula at that time. Wish me luck keeping it white! Thx!! -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvfd1399 0 #4 December 3, 2004 Anyone seen the new nano technology coated shirts? It will NOT let any liquid touch the shirt. You can even fill a shirt pocket with a coke and drink it out of your pocket with a straw without your shirt getting wet. There are shirts made by a well known designer that have this coating. Hillfiger, polo, gap I dont remember which one it was cool shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjosparky 4 #6 December 3, 2004 The use of this technology probably won't add much to the cost a new rig.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katzurki 0 #7 December 3, 2004 Being a foreigner I have to ask: what the hell is scothguard, and why is it good for rigs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #8 December 3, 2004 Scotchguard is a chemical stain resistant treatment for fabrics. It has been used for at least 25 years on skydiving rigs, but the original formula was withdrawn from the market due to (I believe) health concerns. Scotchguard did have a very good reputation for its beneficial effects on stain prevention. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
