The hardest wax at this level in the line, Swix HS5 Turquoise high-speed wax is designed for very cold conditions (0 to 14°F) and dry friction.
Features
Part of the Swix Pro High Speed line, which incorporates the latest innovations and wax technology to take performance to the next level
Compared to standard waxes, HS waxes melt evenly and provide noticeably better speed and durability for cross-country, alpine or snowboard bases
Provides upgraded race-level performance on natural or artificial snow
100% fluoro-free and nontoxic
A little goes a long way—"crayon" a thick layer on the base instead of flooding or dripping; this also reduces the cost per application
Always use an iron made for ski/board bases; this prevents damage and melts the wax better and more evenly
Utilizing natural, recycled and raw synthetic materials, this replaces Swix LF5 x Turquoise wax
Swix wax temperatures are based on air temp in the shade; lower numbers (5) are harder for added durability, while higher number waxes (10) are more hydrophobic
Proudly developed in partnership with scientists, chemists and athletes around the world; approved for all levels of competition and new requirements in 20/21
Since 1946, Swix has spent decades focused on reducing waste, implementing a strict sustainability platform while moving away from fluoro-based materials
