Does anyone know of a way to waterproof a stock chinpad foam piece so it won't absorb water? Seems like I've seen some waterproofing sprays for fabrics that might work on the foam.
Thoughts?

Just replace the foam with the closed-cell type, the spray will never work.

closed-cell foam + turf = no more water logged chin pad.

I just really don't feel like shaping some foam, but I guess I'll have to.

I run no pad with just diamond turf, if I hit the pad either way its gonna hurt, an inch of foam isnt going to help much.

An inch of high density neoprene foam might keep you from busting your mellon.
I'm sure John Havell would have benefited from an insulated pad and crossbar protection.

I already have a nice new Blowsion staple on cover for it. So I'm gonna refoam it.

ya I normally where a helmet but it'll be my luck to smash my face foolin around one day.
i wear an old skateboard helmet when i'm just foolin around, instead of my full face one and I came about 2 inches from smashin my face last month when I was in florida. I'm thinkin the benefit of full face exceeds the cost of wearin it when I fool around now.
How's da U.P. eh?

It's usually when your just fooling around that you end up hurt the worst.
