Oh this dude makes good motorcycle videos.
Another unfun fact (dunno if it's mentioned in the video) is that Teflon is a PFAS that is currently in our environment and ground water in harmful amounts, is definitely giving us cancer, and can't be easily extracted or broken down :(
I hope we can go back to waxed coats and boots or something, soon.
edit:// the video does mention it. Cool video
Fjällräven still uses waxed stuff. Actually not even that expensive though somehow I think if I took my half as expensive Blåkläder pants and applied wax they'd be just as good, ultimately it's a moderately heavy-weight polyester/cotton fabric, nothing too special.
This dude makes good videos. I’m going not a motorcycle guy but I watch his content for stuff like this video. I was also impressed by the PFAS angle this one took.
