[pct-l] Trail Gear: Nano Cotton

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

FYI: You may know about this, but I saw a demo on the new technology using  a 
nano coating on cotton jeans.  Wow.  This beads water like I have  never seen 
before with any garment made of anything.  And it does not come  off with 
use.  See _http://www.tradekey.com/selloffer_view/id/620660.htm_ 
(http://www.tradekey.com/selloffer_view/id/620660.htm) ,  but there are other sites too.
 
I think we will see this breathable nano technology on the trail in future  
years if it can be made to be a permanent water repellent.  And may be that  
has been done already.  It would be great to be on the trail with nano  gear; 
rain fly, tarp, umbrella, rain jacket, and pants/skirt,  etc.  I would not be at 
all worried about being in the rain for a week  on the trail.
 
Anyway, this is wild stuff.
 
Cheers, Switchback the Repellent
