The race for World Cup level topcoats for skiing that are fluoro free is on, and a top contender are the N-Kinetic liquid topcoats from Rex. Simple choices, a warm conditions and a cold conditions, and also simple to use. Fast, to be sure, but also highly water and dirt repellent. And just so skiers don't assume this race was rushed, these products were in use at the World Cup from Rex Racing Services for two years before the fluoro ban occurred!
