Swix Base Prep Wax, 180g

New skis and freshly ground bases need a good foundation, and the Swix Base Prep Wax provides it. This all-round hot wax is built for normal winter conditions and soaks into the base to condition it before you apply wax of the day. It's the first step toward faster, longer-lasting glide.

Why we like it:

It doubles as a travel and storage wax, so one block covers base prep in the fall and protection when the skis go in the bag.

Features and Functions:

Swix designed Base Prep as its all-round prep wax for most skis and snowboards, suited to typical winter snow temperatures. Iron it into new or stone-ground bases to saturate the base material and get it accustomed to heat, then scrape and brush before layering your race or daily wax on top. It also works as a protective travel wax, leaving a layer that shields bases and edges between trips.

Bottom Line:

A must-have block for anyone who waxes at home and wants properly prepped, well-protected bases.
