Description

Developed for easy application and slightly wetter snow, Swix HS8 Red high-speed wax gets your bases ready for regions with average temps above 25°F. Added ingredients boost water repellency.

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, durability and water repellency 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 LF8 x Red - Pink 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 with partnerships of 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
  • Made in Norway
