    Those are slick. Just be careful if you ever go wheeling with slush and a dropping temp. You'll freeze your spring solid. Happy trails!

    i dont think it will be a problem honestly. nothing seems to stick to the outside and nothing gets inside. it is a waterproof material so the wrap itself doesnt soak and freeze either.

    It was more so just a heads up. Lol. I've seen it happen twice with those specific boots first hand.

    shouldn't be as its not petroleum based like others so shouldn't hurt the seals. dust will stick to shocks and they will look terrible. but they wash off nice later

    Just keep them coated with fluid film or another product and they'll be fine. Again, that was after 7 years. And my mistake of washing the coating off and the winter and not reapplying in time
