My only problem with these are that the plastic on them is always somehow smudge/frosted enough that you cant read a thing.
I think it's partly UV and partly being cleaned with paper towel. I think cotton is much softer on a micro level.
Plastic? We have plenty of them here and none is out of plastic.
Is their not a plastic sheet covering the posted maps and signs? Like the structure is wood, but most I have seen have a plastc covering over the display.
And ya sometimes the scratches and smearing and graffiti makes it unreadable.
The bougie ones have glass... That might be what they are referring to.
I do a lot of hiking and most often it's plastic. Weirdly you find the glass covered ones in usually boring trails in small towns that seem very rarely traveled. I have even seem some that are just cork board, with nothing covering it. The pages are either lamented, or less desirably slipped into a 3 ring binder type sleeve and stapled.
At least here the actual papers and stuff pinned to them are covered by a locked hinged window made of plastic.
