It's a fluoro-free hot wax built for younger racers and ambitious recreational skiers, easy to melt and durable enough for training and race days alike. Expect quicker glide from a wax that's forgiving to iron in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's genuinely easy to work with at the bench, which makes it the wax we'd hand a young racer who's learning to tune their own skis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Functions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHS stands for High Speed, Swix's series developed for younger racers and ambitious leisure skiers, and HS8 is a popular pick from that line for both base preparation and training. The red wax covers -4°C to +4°C, it's fluoro-free and 100% biodegradable, and Swix recommends an iron temperature of 150°C. Move the iron along a skating or alpine ski in roughly 8 to 10 seconds per pass, and for better durability you can reheat the wax after it has cooled to room temperature, about 10 minutes later. Swix stresses that a good iron melts the wax more efficiently, and HS8 is also sold in liquid form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBottom Line:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an everyday training wax for race programs and a go-to hot wax for home tuners when temperatures sit near freezing. It's affordable enough to use all the time and good enough to race on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51870923292968,"sku":"HS0818","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/swix-hs8-180g-wax-hs0818-hs0818.jpg?v=1791907260","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/swix-hs8-180g-wax-hs0818","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
