Swix HS6 Blue -6°C/-12°C, 900g

Teams training on cold, firm snow all winter will want the Swix HS6 Blue Glide Wax 900g in bulk. This five-bar box of fluoro-free cold wax doubles as race wax, base layer, and base prep wax on natural and man-made snow alike. That flexibility means one stack of bars can cover prep days, training days, and race mornings.

Why we like it:

Using one wax for base prep and racing simplifies a busy wax room, and a box this size makes that practical for an entire team.

Features and Functions:

This 900g pack holds 5 x 180g bars of HS6, the blue -6°C to -12°C wax in Swix's High Speed series. It offers good durability and excellent glide on natural and artificial snow, and Swix suggests it as a base wax for racing products or as a base prep wax for cold skis, as well as a racing wax by itself. Swix lists 155°C at the iron and a slow, even pass, and an optional second heating after the wax cools adds durability. Like all HS waxes, it contains no fluoro and is 100% biodegradable.

Bottom Line:

This is the cold-weather bulk box for race programs, ski clubs, and shops in cold climates. It keeps a lot of skis fast through the coldest stretch of the season.
