Transparent duct tape - I haven't used it (someone mentioned it last night and a search of the 3M site turned it up). Somehow this seems wrong. It may work wonderfully, but ugly duct tape is a badge of honor. [tingilinde] Duct tape is a crucial fashion accessory for the hardcore skier. Wind it around your (extensible, of course) ski poles so that you have a stash for emergencies (you are prepared!). Use it to patch pants ripped on some heinously rocky slope, jacket speared by a treacherous tree branch, or gloves cut by sharp metal edges. For extra fashion points, telemarkers use it to fix binding malfunctions. Transparent tape would just not do. 8:36:20 AM
