Swix PS8 Red -4°C/+4°C Ski Wax - 180g
Engineered for transitional snow conditions around the freezing point, this Pro Standard hydrocarbon glide wax delivers reliable speed and moisture repellency in temperatures ranging from -4°C to +4°C (25°F to 39°F). Its specialized non-fluorinated mid-soft formulation optimizes base lubrication in damp artificial snow, high-humidity natural snowpack, and coarse transformed snow. Serving as an economical bulk size for high-frequency skiers and technicians, it functions as an everyday training wax, a base preparation layer, or a protective base storage wax.
Designed for hot-wax application using a dedicated waxing iron set to a recommended temperature of 130°C (266°F), the solid block melts smoothly to ensure thorough saturation of sintered base structures. A uniform iron pass rate of 8 to 10 seconds per ski facilitates deep thermal penetration without subjecting base materials to excessive heat stress. Allowing the wax to cool completely before scraping and brushing creates a durable, hydrophobic surface engineered to minimize suction on wet snow.
