I tried the tape last winter and liked it. But I guess I didn't try it

Today I tried it when it was, like, 34-35F and it had NO GRIP at all!
Rats!

I was thinking it would be great for long ski-tour days when I start
at cold below freezing and end up in the sunny warm afternoon. But it
looks like NO. I mean, from what I read it might hang in there until
JUST that 34 mark. But who wants to worry about that?

I'm also noticing the remarks about the Rex Tape -- they have a warm
and cold. I wonder if that's better.

I might do a big day this weekend. It'll be icy and start at, like,
25F and end at 35F.

People have claimed that it works at the upper end of the
listed range. Never has for me though.

It was warm today (5C/41F)and I had the chance to try the
Toko klister spray. It worked OK, and much better than the
Start tape. It didn't work well enough to forgive poor
technique, I had troubles slipping when my weight transfer
wasn't good. But it was acceptable and was less sensitive
than I was expecting to crossing sun/shade boundaries.

It was still above freezing when the sun went down so I
didn't get to see how it worked when it was colder.
