    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Do you know if it’s like CXL i.e. will always be somewhat stiff, but soften up over a day (as your body heat melts the wax), or does it become more permanently draped?

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t intend on babying it, it’s just it absorbs all the water in the rain, which is a huge pain
