We tried to climb the Huayna Postosi in Bolivia next to La Paz at 6088m.
It was snowing up there and you needed crampons.
I therefore didn’t go up there with the Novadry boots, but at least up to the refuge at 5133m….
To get there, my Novadry boots resisted well in the powdery snow. They are completely watertight.
Whilst everybody else had wet feet and were stressed out because they couldn’t dry out their stocks in the hut at 0°C…. my feet were completely dry… they were very envious!!!!
Do you know about Novadry garment water repellence?
This is a treatment applied to fabrics: hydrophobic (“don’t like” water) molecules are applied parallel to the fabric, and the result is that water slides off the fabric without soaking in.
Over time, friction and the volumes of water build up, making the molecules sag. This reduces the water repellent effect. But there are 3 easy ways to reactivate the water repellence.
1- Iron parts of the garment affected (cool iron).
2- Tumble-dry the garment on the synthetics/cool programme.

Marie Moreira, one of our team assistants, has climbed Mont Blanc.
She set off without any fuss as if she was going to the seaside for a weekend… clutching a Novadry jacket.
She came back on Tuesday morning on cloud nine and with a slightly red nose, saying with a euphoric smile “Yes! I did it! I climbed Mont Blanc!“.
She shared her feelings with us, and we were proud of her. She showed us a few photographs which we were all very interested in.
You could say that we all had a little part in helping her succeed in this challenge.
