    Skin Bags - Anyone try DIY ??

    I saw the new G3 skin bags and wow - what a good idea, especially in cold and/or windy de-skinning. However I don't want to put a wet bag (spandex not waterproof) in my pack and price steep for a piece of spandex fabric (it does not appear to be a special propietary fabric). Anyone try this with just a nylon waterproof bag ( I tried it with a Tyvec product and it delaminated)?? Also sending posting this on TTips for our flip flop brethren feedback.

    Edited with this info:
    G3 Love Glove

    Better, faster, and easier than traditional skin savers, this intuitive new spandex sack wicks moister from your skins for better performance, and give your gloves some love by keeping them free of glue & gunk.

    They are bulkier than trad skin savers, so would have to use a much larger regular skin bag to stuff them in as an alternative to just stuffing wet stuff in your pack, hence the idea just using two waterproof bags to start ??

    I'm not committing to the new skin bag technology until Hoji has endorsed a particular product line.

    This shit is going to take BC skiing to the next level.

    I think oft should be consulted on these wet spandex skin bags and whether or not to hot wax them.
    Is that wax on or wax off?

    Post in the right forum you douchenozzle!

    It's really not that hard... Nor is figuring out what kind of bag to hold your skins in.

    Call him Mitt "Love Glove" Romney ... 'cause TMZ has learned a condom company has officially launched a line of special rubbers dedicated to the Republican candidate ... despite not having Mitt's approval.

    The condom company launched a website this week, offering the political jimmys for roughly five bucks a pop.

    TMZ spoke with the owner of the company -- which also famously launched Obama condoms a while back -- who tells us he KNOWS his operation is perfectly legit because a State Supreme Court judge previously ruled his products are protected under his First Amendment right to free speech.

    The owner tells us he's marketing the product to anyone with an "elitist penis" ... and states, "Romney Condoms are tax free so even the poor can afford them."

    What's a true uninformed maggot?
    Since when did we have uniforms?
    I'm going to write something in cuniform about ofts opinions about these new wet spandex skin bags and whether or not to hot wax them on or hot wax off.

    I do smell marketeering.

    Hey uninformed douche spammer how about the fact that G3 copied the idea from Colltex.

    Colltex calls it the skin sock and released it several years before G3.

    guess a skin condom would have been rather confusing to the bigger endowed uniformed maggots.

    Hey, good info - I did not know about the Colltex product - any feedback on what it was made of and how well it really worked ??

    John Muir must've been a maggot



    -and I've been using this actual skin bag as a skin bag, this skin bag works so much better than a synthetic skin bag
