>Why apply Greenland Wax?

If you prefer to trade some breathability for enhanced weather-protection, you can always consider applying Greenland Wax to the exterior of the pants. G-1000 is a tough material with a tight weave that provides natural wind-resistance, but by adding Greenland Wax, which is made of a mixture of beeswax and paraffin, you can greatly increase the wind- and water-resistance as well as durability. Waxing is actually surprisingly easy. Simply use the block of Greenland Wax (sold separately) and apply in long, smooth strokes which leave behind a thin, even layer. Using an iron (or a hairdryer) on low to moderate heat, melt the wax into the fabric again using long, even strokes. The wax melts at between 131-140 degrees Fahrenheit (55-60 degrees Celsius) and anything beyond those temperatures will cause the wax to get too runny. Repeat if and as you feel necessary for greater protection.
