Phantom Permanent Waxless Glide

Yes, Phantom is a permanent base treatment that bonds to the ski or snowboard base at a molecular level. Once applied, it does not wear off, meaning you never need to apply traditional hydrocarbon or fluorinated waxes again for the life of the equipment.

Phantom is designed to provide a consistent glide across a wide range of snow temperatures and conditions. While traditional waxes are often tuned for specific temperature ranges, Phantom offers a reliable, universal performance that eliminates the guesswork of matching wax to the day's forecast.

You can, but it is unnecessary. Applying traditional wax over Phantom will not damage the treatment, but it will eventually wear off, leaving you back with the consistent performance of the underlying Phantom layer.

Phantom is an excellent choice for backcountry skiers. Because it is a permanent treatment, it won't be stripped away by the repeated application and removal of climbing skins, which is a common issue that degrades traditional wax quickly.

While you can apply it yourself, the process requires specific UV curing conditions to bond properly. Many users prefer having it applied by a professional shop with the correct equipment to ensure the best, most durable results.
