Smirk.. reminds me of conversation with my wife about my much loved wind shirt.

"But if I wash it I'll have to re-nikwax it! and it'll look clean! and it won't smell like nasty hiker funk!"

At least I managed to catch her complaining about me buying a bottle of nikwax at MEC and therefore got to ask her if she'd rather I didn't wash my gear.. I now no longer require CFO permission to buy nikwax <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
