Swix V30 Kick Wax

The V30 is formulated specifically for cold conditions, typically performing best in temperatures ranging from -7°C to -22°C (19°F to -8°F). It is an ideal choice when the mercury drops and you need reliable grip on cold, transformed snow.

This is a traditional hard kick wax intended for classic cross-country skis that have a dedicated kick zone or grip pocket. It is not designed for skate skis or waxless (fishscale) skis.

Apply the wax by rubbing it directly onto the clean, dry kick zone of your ski base. Use a synthetic cork to smooth and level the wax layer until it is uniform, ensuring it adheres properly for the best grip.

Yes, it is common practice to layer hard waxes. You can use the V30 as a base layer for colder conditions or top it with a slightly warmer wax if the temperature rises during your ski session, though it performs excellently on its own in its intended range.
