Swix Skin Impregnation

Integrated skins are made of synthetic fibers that can absorb moisture and freeze when snow conditions hover around the freezing point. This treatment creates a hydrophobic barrier that prevents ice buildup, which would otherwise ruin your glide and grip.

No, this formula is specifically engineered to prevent icing and improve glide without compromising the skin's ability to grip the snow for climbing. It is designed to maintain the integrity of the skin material.

While it is beneficial for general maintenance, it is most critical when temperatures are near zero degrees Celsius. This is when the risk of 'clumping' or icing on the skins is highest.

You should apply it whenever you notice the skins starting to collect snow or feel sluggish. For consistent performance throughout the season, it is best to treat them before heading out on days with variable or wet snow.

You should avoid using standard glide wax on your skins, as it can damage the fibers or negatively impact their grip. Always use a product specifically formulated for skin care to ensure you don't ruin the equipment.
