Question: How does the North snuffer differ from the ATN? The web page states this snuffer consists of injected molded funnel. Is this just a telescoping funnel of plastic and if so how flexible is the funnel when doused? Larry Mace

Answer: Hi Larry, The North snuffer is similar in design and function to the ATN product. There are some differences in materials and hardware. The North product has an injection molded, plastic funnel on the smallest size. The most common sizes feature a laid-up fiberglass funnel with a gelcoat finish. The largest size features a carbon fiber funnel with a gelcoat finish. The funnels are fixed, oblong rings. They are not flexible. Regards, Dan Neri
