[net.rec.ski] Hanson Ski Boot

dgt@pegasus.UUCP (Dan G. Theriault) (01/15/85)

Just a question on this disintegration problem.
I have a pair of Hanson Avantis and they are still in GREAT shape.
I don't know the exact year I bought them but they are at least 8
years old.  For 6 of these years they were on my feet from dawn to dusk
every weekend for the entire ski season.  Now what I want to know is
am I living on borrowed time with the liners?  Is the disintegration
problem universal? or does it occur through abuse?  Did those with
this problem use the silicon spray on them?

Thanks
Candace

Yes.  I used the Hanson spray on my Avantis, as well as a "pure silicon"
spray call "Speed spray" made by Holley or Holly or something like that.
Hmm. I wonder if using the spray had something to do with it.  I couldn't
get the boots in without it, though.

Working is fine, but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it.
