Theme: "Mountain Tool Care Consultation Room" - Ask the person in NIKWAX about everything you need to know about mountain equipment maintenance -
is How to care for and store mountain equipment, which will become the most important thing for everyone who works on the mountain
Mountain tools are becoming increasingly expensive, and you want to use your favorite items you've acquired for a long time.
Meanwhile, the world has begun to move dramatically towards a lifestyle that is based on sustainability, and the era in which older mountain tools are no longer in the ordinary, rather than "replace" them as they have done in the past, is "repairing and using them for as long as possible."
This event will take the opportunity to ask you, "Why not try and study the correct way to care for it?"
What is NIKWAX?
NIKWAX, which has been a maintenance product for outdoor wear since the 1970s, is a pioneer in maintaining maintenance, one after another, has established new standards for aftercare for mountain equipment, from water-repellent recovery products for leather shoes, to cleaning and water-repellent agents for clothing, to various gears such as sleeping bags, tents, and gloves. Furthermore, when ozone reduction and aerosol sprays were a concern in the 1980s, it was an extremely important brand that was always very environmentally conscious, with the creation of a water-soluble NIKWAX lineup immediately.
This time, we'll be introducing Evernew, who has been handling NIKWAX in Japan for many years, and we'll be introducing you to Ota Kazutoshi as a guest, and we'll be introducing you to the actual tips and tips on how to maintain your tools, including how to work with care products, including how to care for NIKWAX products, how to store them after they've been taken care of!
The person at NIKWAX teaches you plenty of "secret care"
Ota has been involved with NIKWAX for many years among Evernew and is literally one of Japan's most familiar with NIKWAX. At the event, Ota would like to teach you as much as time can as possible about how to care for mountain wear and mountain equipment, from scratch to basics and practical know-how.
We ask for questions in advance
We would like to make the event as practical as possible, rather than what is written on the manufacturer's website or textbooks, and to make it more practical and accessible to the itchy areas, so after first giving a brief introduction to NIKWAX, we would like to proceed in a "concern consultation" format where you can answer specific questions in a lively manner.
For this reason, we are looking for questions in advance so that we can respond as many questions as possible smoothly. Whether you are planning to participate or not, if you would like to take this opportunity to ask about mountain equipment maintenance, please use the question form below ↓↓↓!
Bring items to the site and we will also be able to diagnose your worries on the spot.
Those who participate on-site can easily consult with professionals in the field with questions that are difficult to do, such as, "If it's become this old, will it be replaced, or is it possible to maintain it yet?"
We will also demonstrate water repellent maintenance
In addition to consultations on the day, we will also be planning to demonstrate water-repellent maintenance, which is essential for the winter. Details will be announced later as soon as other specific details are decided. If you have any other requests that have been performed at the event, please let us know using the question form above.
This time we will be streaming live online again
We are also planning to use Zoom webinars to stream live, so we would like to prepare so that even those who simply can't participate can enjoy watching it without any effort. As much as time allows, you can ask questions while watching online, so please come and join us from all over the world!
Our Favorite Hikes aims to be an exciting place where people from a variety of occupations and positions involved in the outdoors of Japan, where they can meet and interact with other people who love mountain and gear, and deepen their interactions. Participation requires no skills or experience, nor any prior knowledge. We are free to age and gender, and individuals are welcome.
