Engineered for cold-to-mid winter conditions, the Swix TS7 Black 40G Wax hits its peak performance sweet spot between 18°F and 28°F, delivering low friction and reliable glide when you need it most. A solid lubricant additive cuts through contaminated snow, from dirty spring patches or artificial layers, while the wax's malleable hardness makes it easy to work with for a smooth, even application. Use it as a standalone race wax for instant speed, or layer it as a base for top coats when you're chasing every hundredth of a second. Apply with an iron set at approximately 150°C, moving 8-10 seconds per pass on a skating or alpine ski, and get ready to glide faster through every turn.
