The Swix TS8 Black 40g Wax delivers consistent speed when natural snow turns dirty, artificial, or transformed. The increased hardness boosts durability and actively resists dirt absorption, while the solid lubricant additive cuts friction on contaminated snow so you glide longer with less drag. Apply with an iron at approximately 150ºC, moving 8-10 seconds per pass on skating or alpine skis—then let it cool and reheat for enhanced durability. Use it alone as a standalone race wax or as a high-performance base layer for top coats, and trust it to perform when conditions are anything but perfect.
