Made in
the USA from good old EPP!
Expanded Polypropylene foam (EPP) can't be beat for rough and tumble
type slope gliders like the Weasel. Please note that we've had to increase our
pricing for this particular kit due to the higher costs of raw materials and
the the more labor intensive process involved in manufacturing EPP parts. Our
apologies for this change. |
