Nordic GripWax

The deodorant-style stick allows you to apply wax directly to the ski base without needing to touch the product, which keeps your hands clean and prevents mess. It also makes it easier to control the thickness of the layer you are applying.

No, this is specifically formulated as a grip wax for classic skiing. It is designed to provide traction in the kick zone of your skis, whereas skate skis require glide wax across the entire base.

You should select the wax that corresponds to the current snow temperature, not the air temperature. Toko offers three ranges to cover conditions from near-freezing at 0°C down to deep cold at -30°C, so check your local snow report before heading out.

The stick format is designed for manual application, so no specialized tools are required. While you can use a synthetic cork to smooth the wax out after application for a more even finish, the stick itself is sufficient for getting the wax onto the ski.

Grip wax is temperature-specific, so if the snow warms up or cools down significantly during your outing, you may notice a change in performance. It is common practice for classic skiers to carry a stick in their pocket to reapply or adjust their grip if conditions shift.
