My Locale Kanto Plain, Japan
About Me The top of the mountain is more an afterthought than a destination for me. Its the trees and creatures, the weather and people along the way that make the walking good. It's why it's always so hard to come back down. And why, with the odor of days imprinted in synthetics, my coming back down is hard for others, too!

Re: X-Trek Fabric - Japan
From what I've seen X-Trek is Gore-tex. Quite a few companies are using it now, including Kamoshika. It's astronomically expensive, though... the average 2 person dome single-wall mountain ...
