Swix Marathon Powder
Best high-performance glide powder for long-distance racing in challenging snow conditions.
This powder brings the legendary durability of long-distance race wax into a much more manageable format. While you sacrifice the simplicity of a standard rub-on, the trade-off is a significantly faster, cleaner glide that actively repels dirt and friction in messy, wet conditions.
