Swix HS10 180g Wax

End-of-season slush and warm spring days call for the Swix HS10 Yellow Glide Wax 180g. This fluoro-free hot wax is built for warm conditions and for younger racers and committed recreational skiers who want real speed without race-wax prices. Spring laps feel faster and a lot less sticky once it's on.

Why we like it:

It's the wax we reach for when the snow softens up in March; it irons in easily and actually lets the ski run when the snow gets warm.

Features and Functions:

HS10 sits at the warm end of the High Speed lineup, with a 0°C to +10°C range that matches late-season conditions. Because it's relatively soft, it doesn't last as long as harder waxes, so Swix recommends melting a harder wax into the base first before a race or a long trip. Set the iron to 150°C and give each alpine or skating ski a slow 8 to 10 second pass, and reheat once it has cooled for around 10 minutes if you want more durability. It's fluoro-free, 100% biodegradable, and suited to basic prep, training, and race days alike.

Bottom Line:

Keep a bar on the bench from March on. It's the warm-day wax for racers in training and anyone who skis spring conditions hard.
