Do want. What happens if you spray it on your feet and run into a lake?

Castelli are doing a stretchy waterproof and arm warmers that work in a similar way. Not baggy tho, so won't be adopted by the fashionistas.

Could it herald the end of bike cleaning ? Or is there something deeply satisfying about seeing some of the fruits of effort from a winter's ride ? ๐Ÿ˜•

Maybe useful for preventing curry "medals " too ?

I'm in the hearing aid industry and this nano coating technology is now used on hearing aids to make them virtually waterproof and dust proof making the instruments far more durable, especially good to prevent earwax from sticking to the receivers which is the biggest cause of hearing aid malfunction or blockage. I think we will be seeing a wide variety of uses for the nano-tech technology.
