Natural Climbing Skin Wax

Climbing skin wax is specifically formulated to be hydrophobic to prevent snow from sticking to the plush fibers of your skins. Standard ski base wax is designed for the plastic base of your skis and can actually damage or clog the adhesive and fibers of your skins if used incorrectly.

Both methods work well, but they serve different needs. Use the rub-on method for quick, mid-tour adjustments when you notice icing, while ironing it in provides a deeper, more durable bond that lasts for several days of touring.

No, this formula is designed to be applied to the plush (fur) side of the skin only. As long as you apply it carefully to the fibers and avoid the adhesive side, it will not compromise the glue's stickiness.

It depends on the snow conditions. In cold, dry powder, you may not need it at all, but in wet, heavy, or variable spring snow, you should reapply whenever you notice snow beginning to clump or 'ball up' on the skins.

Yes, Purl uses an all-natural formula that is designed to be eco-friendly. It is a safer alternative to traditional fluorinated waxes that can leave harmful residues in the snowpack.
