It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Zamberlan Hydrobloc Proofing Cream

Hi,

I am resident in Sydney. I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me of a physical or online store that stocks Zambelan Hydrobloc Proffing Cream? The only Australian based supplier I have found is http://www.mainpeak.com.au and they are out of stock.

Thanks in anticipation of any leads you can offer.

Regards,

Tesa

Cant help you with this particular product, though I use Nikwax on my current Zamberlans and Snoseal on my previous pair. Nikwax is very easy to apply and is longer lasting than Snoseal I've found.

Mainpeak is the only supplier of Hydrobloc in Australia. Grangers make a leather conditioner that is not a beeswax, keeping the breathability in tact. Highly recommended if your boots are gore-tex.

Hi,

Thanks Strider and pazzar for your replies. The reference to Grangers GMax Conditioner that is specifically intended for gore-tex lined boots was interesting and relevant. I've ordered the Granger's product. The crazy thing is that I have ordered it from a UK on-line store for $17.15 including delivery. The best price I found in Oz was $16.95 plus $15 postage + GST.

Hi Everyone,
I live in Sydney and wanted to share my experience of getting hold of a couple of tubes of Zamberlan Hydrobloc cream which seems to be hard to get in Australia.

I ordered from Up and Under in Cardiff, UK. Very pleasant to deal with and they removed the VAT which helped offset the small postage cost. Tubes are well priced (approx GBP 5 ea excl VAT) and I figured I already spent a load on a pair of Zamberlan Vioz so I should get the right protective cream!

upandunder.co.uk

You go through their Shopping Cart and enter your details and click submit etc and they get back to you via email within a few minutes with the adjusted international invoice which you click on the link within the email and complete the purchase.

Takes about a week for delivery.

Worked really nicely for me!
I hope some of you find it helpful.
Cheers
AndrewN
