C6 Technology by Skankeywear is Better Than Ever

C6 Technology is an innovative process that protects your clothing even in the most inconvenient of circumstances.

Skankeywear®-Beaverton, Oregon. C6 Technology® is an innovative technology that can be applied to any fabric before or after production. Being able to apply this treatment to a finished product opens new doors and capabilities for the fabric product that is treated. Now embroideries, screen printed products, seams and thread will be included in the treatment, making them stain and water resistant as well. This process can be applied to most fabrics making many more possibilities for the product. From jeans, to knitted shirts, to woven shirts: almost anything can be treated.

C6 Technology® uses a C6 carbon chain rather than a C8 carbon chain like most of its competitors. C8 carbon chains are full of Perfluorooctanoic acids(PFOA), a man-made chemical which does not occur naturally in the environment. Recently scientists have found great apprehension as levels of PFOA have been commonly found in many humans across the world and concerns abound about how exposure to PFOA could affect people’s health. Unlike C8, a C6 Carbon chain does not contain PFOA, which makes our C6 Technology environmentally safe.

This new process is a step ahead of the rest in protecting the products that are sold. C6 Technology® makes the product stain, water, odor, wrinkle and fade resistant, but a new attribute that has yet to be mentioned is the breathability that the products retain. With this new treatment process, the product can have long life treatment of over 55 washes and keep a desired hand (or feel) of the fabric as though it had never been treated with any process.

C6 Technology® does not make the products water or stain proof, only water and stain resistant. This means that if any dirt or grease has accumulated, it will stay on the surface. Washing of these garments is made easier and faster. It alleviates stress of buying high end detergents or pretreatments. The dirt is simply cleaned right off the surface and leaves C6 Technology® on the garment ready to again resist water and stains. This also cuts down on the time in the dryer, which helps save your energy bill.

Skankeywear® and NW Allen® are two lines of clothing that use C6 Technology®. Making the comforts of a wrinkle and stain resistant lifestyle more attainable to the average consumer. Purchasing clothing with C6 Technology® treatments helps save you money on your water and energy bill with washings and drying. C6 Technology® is here to save your wallet as well as your time. For business and dress clothing for men, look into NW Allen® at nwallen.com.

Off Season

The wise traveler schedule’s their trips on the off season. January – March is perfect timing for a great deal on a vacation. Although it’s hard if you have full families to coordinate with school schedules, etc, if you can plan it, the best time to take off is now!

What to do:

For skiing and winter adventures, you could go just about anywhere in January. Everything is still open and you may be able find great deals for Canada or Aspen.

Wanting a break from the winter gloom? The Southern hemisphere is having summer! You could go any where from Argentina to New Zealand and find a nice hot spot resort. The Caribbean has great deals on cruises and resorts and even Hawaii has good deals, too.

Looking for just a quick trip? Always look for the next big city near you. Living in Portland, I would be checking out deals for Seattle or even San Francisco. Flights tend to be cheaper making the get-away easier. If I was still in Southern California, I would be looking to the Bay area as well as a Vegas weekend. Many times you can find great combo deals with restaurants and hotels, flights and hotels, or even rental cars and shows.

Recommendations:

For over all ease, go to Kayak.com. This will search several of your favorite bargain hunting sites and tell you who or what has the best deal. If you want things simple, this is your one stop shop.

For best search options, go to Expedia.com. If you want to play with your options from popular routes, flexible dates, or major cities this is the place to play around. You may want to keep track of all the searches you are running so you don’t get lost in your searches, but this definitely has the most possibilities at your finger tips.

For best prices, go to Priceline.com. I have heard great things about the guarantees for Orbitz, but in my personal use, I have found that the best deals I find are on Priceline. They may only differ from site to site by a few dollars, but those extra fees that are tacked on can add up. Plus, who doesn’t like William Shatner fighting for your low prices?

For no nonsense, go to Jetblue.com. If you hate searching through all the competition and want a recommendation for the best airline, my vote is for Jet Blue. Although I have heard horror stories with their customer service, I personally have not needed to use them in that way. I would highly recommend keeping an eye on your luggage, but you can ensure a very comfortable flight. They now fly out of most major cities and regardless of the length of the flight they all have personal TVs with many channels, more leg room, and they still give you drinks and cookies! Other airlines are trying to do this more, so I have had success with Delta and even Alaska Air wasn’t bad, however the clear cut winner for a great flight is Jet Blue.

Happy jet setting this “off” season!
