Description
By varying the amount of wax you can adapt the function of the G-1000 garment or product to different weather conditions and activities. For instance:
- Hiking without a backpack: Reinforce the seams with wax to make the jacket extra waterproof and durable.
- Hiking with a backpack: Wax the front of the jacket. Your body heat is dissipated at the back and the front protects you against wind and weather.
- Hiking in warm climates. Wash the garment at 40 degrees in the washing machine. The result is an airy and comfortable garment that ventilates optimally.
G-1000 clothing is windproof, quick-drying and very durable. By impregnating your garments with Greenland Wax:
- Can you adapt them to various weather conditions and activities
- Do you make the clothing water and dirt repellent?
- Increases the durability and longevity of a garment
The wax is made of: 65% Parrafin, 35% Beewax
Waxing G-1000 products
A lot of wax makes a garment strong and resistant to wind and weather. And when you wash clothes again, you get a cooler garment with good breathability. After two or three washes, you can wax your clothes again.
- Application: Rub the block of Greenland Wax over the fabric in long strokes to create a thin, even layer. Make sure to impregnate all parts of the fabric.
- Melting: You can melt the wax into the dust in three ways, wax melts at a temperature of about 55-60 °C. The first way is with an iron on a low setting with no power. Don’t forget to clean the iron before using it on another garment. The second way is with a hair dryer. The third way is over a camping burner. Hold the garment a few inches above the flames and rock it back and forth. Start far away and slowly get closer until you see the wax melt. Make sure it doesn’t burn.
Tip: Do you want to make the fabric more water-repellent? Then it is better to repeat the waxing a few times instead of applying a thick layer. This is useful for vulnerable parts in the clothing, such as the hood and shoulders (if you are wearing a backpack), knees and seat.
Note: G-1000 garments with down or synthetic filling and garments with a hydratic lining or a combination of fabrics should be waxed with extra care.
Of course we can also wax your G-1000 clothing at Antilope Outdoor. You can also contact us if you have any questions!
