Swix North GlideWax

This wax is formulated for warm, moist snow conditions, specifically within a temperature range of -2°C to 0°C (28°F to 32°F). It performs best when the snow is transitioning or slightly wet, helping to prevent suction and maintain speed.

While it is a high-performance product used by competitors, it is perfectly suitable for recreational skiers and snowboarders. The application process is straightforward, making it an accessible choice for anyone wanting to improve their equipment's glide on milder days.

This is a hot wax, meaning it requires a waxing iron for application. You melt the wax onto your base, spread it evenly with the iron, let it cool completely, and then scrape and brush it off to reveal a smooth, fast surface.

Swix has engineered this formula to balance performance with sustainability. While it utilizes advanced fluorocarbon technology for friction reduction, the overall composition is designed to be an eco-friendly option compared to traditional high-fluorinated waxes.

A 60g block is generally enough to wax a pair of skis or a snowboard multiple times. Because it is a high-performance wax, a little goes a long way, and you only need a thin, even layer to achieve the desired glide.
