SWIX HS5-18 High Speed 5 Turquoise Glider -10°C...-18°C, 180g

HS5 - High Speed 5 Turquoise. Great durability!

The HS series are great gliders for training and competition with very good glide properties.

The 5 series is the hardest wax in the HS line, and is a great choice in cold conditions, due to its great durability and dry friction properties. It's a great choice both for alpine and cross country. Despite being a wax for cold conditions, the melting point makes it easier to apply than many competitors, in this area, without sacrificing the great glide properties. For fresh, old or manmade snow.

​The speed of the iron should be approx. 8-10 sec. on a skating ski. The wax can be re-heated after cooling to room temperature (10 min) for better durability. Scraping after appr. one minute. Important to have a good iron to get an efficient melting of the wax.

HS5 can be used as a race wax alone or as a base for powders and other top coats.

Recommended iron temp: 150°C (311°F)
