Grangers - Splash It All Over...

Gear news in association with
eVent Fabrics

Funny the things you come across while browsing obscure industry web sites, well, not me exactly - Grangers, the Gore-approved manufacturer of all things you need to clean and maintain your clothing, tents and footwear, have decided to take the concept of personal cleanliness a stage further.

Yep, their latest venture is apparently set to be something called 'Sharp Curve', 'a handy travel pack containing a body wash, body spray, 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner and foot lotion.'

Apparently the new toiletries, or should we say, body maintenance products, boast a 'refreshing unisex fragrance' as well as 'advanced skin-care technology' and come in a practical fabric carry bag.

This is of course old news to those of us who've long washed under our armpits with Extreme Cleaner Plus - the smell-killing ingredient works just fine - and moisturised assiduously with Suede and Nubuck Restorer, which is definite must for anyone with leathery skin, but it's nice to see the company recognising the potential.

We've also tried reproofing using Extreme Proofer, but the complexities of getting into a tumble drier for long enough to activate the DWR polymer chains have proved insurmountable, mainly due to longterm hair damage...

Footwear Too

More prosaically, Grangers has also launched a new water-based collection of footwear care products to complement it's existing aerosol line. Comprising a cleaner, conditioner and protector, they use a sponge applicator and can be applied to wet or dry footwear.
