So I imagine by now everyone knows of Rustoleum's Neverwet, if not here is a video:
It has been brought up for outerwear, but breathability concerns obviously arise.
Today I was thinking that it would be cool to put on my topsheets so I don't have as much snow sticking to them at the bottom of a run, and then it hit me, what if this product could be used for bases?
Current technology still involves friction for movement, but what if this product removed all friction? It seems to do that to water on other items so why not skis on snow?
So what if we had hydrophobic bases or a hydrophobic material that didn't require wax or maintenance? Also I am not overly scientific so some insight would be nice.
