Swix Base Protection Liquid 500ml

Bigger than the travel bottle and built for refills, the Swix BPL-500 Base Protection Liquid covers a full rack of skis. It's a liquid storage and transport wax that leaves a thin protective layer on ski and snowboard bases as it dries. Bases stay sealed through the off-season or a long trip without a session at the waxing bench.

Why we like it:

It doubles as the refill for the smaller sponge-top bottle, so one jug keeps the applicator you actually carry topped up all season.

Features and Functions:

The formula leaves a thin, protective wax layer as the solvent evaporates, which is what makes it useful as both a transport wax and a storage coat. At 500ml it's sized for refilling the BPL-80 applicator bottle or for coating plenty of skis directly, and Swix notes it's recommended by professional ski waxers, including the Norwegian Cross-Country Ski Team. It's listed for all types of skiing and suits snowboard bases as well. There's no applicator on this bottle, so use it to refill the sponge bottle or apply it with your own pad.

Bottom Line:

This is the size for teams, shops, and families with a garage full of skis. Buy it once and you won't be rationing base protection at the end of the season.
