Swix

High Speed Wax

High Speed Wax is a specialized wax made by Swix that enhances the speed of your skis or snowboard. It is formulated to optimize performance based on the snow's temperature conditions, allowing for better gliding and reduced friction. Using this wax can help you achieve faster runs and a more enjoyable ride on the slopes.

To apply Iron-on wax, you will need a waxing iron. First, heat the iron to the recommended temperature for the wax you are using. Then, hold the wax against the iron to melt it, allowing the wax to drip onto the base of your skis or snowboard. Spread the melted wax evenly using the iron, ensuring it seeps into the base material. Let it cool, then scrape off the excess for a smooth finish.

An Eco-friendly wax is designed to be less harmful to the environment. This means it is free of fluorocarbons, which are chemicals that can negatively impact both the environment and human health. Choosing Eco-friendly wax helps reduce pollution and supports sustainable practices, making it a responsible choice for outdoor enthusiasts.

Dry friction properties refer to how well the wax minimizes resistance when your skis or snowboard glide over the snow. Excellent dry friction properties mean a smoother and faster ride, allowing you to maintain speed and control. This is crucial for performance, especially in competitive or challenging conditions.

Each type of wax is formulated to perform best within specific temperature ranges. For example, turquoise wax is ideal for warmer conditions, while blue, violet, red, and yellow waxes are suited for progressively colder temperatures. Check the weather forecast for the day you plan to ski or snowboard, and select the wax that matches those conditions to maximize your performance on the slopes.

While High Speed Wax is designed to enhance performance, it is most effective when matched to the specific temperature conditions of the snow. Using the appropriate wax for the day's weather will ensure optimal glide and speed. If the conditions change, consider re-waxing with a product suited for the new temperature range to maintain peak performance.
