Swix PS7 Violet -2°C/-8°C, 180g

Normal winter conditions just below freezing are what the Swix PS7 Violet Glide Wax is built for, and this bulk box keeps a wax room stocked. It's an all-round wax that handles prep, training, and touring for both Nordic and alpine skis. Its hardness makes it easy to work with, so even a long night of waxing goes smoothly.

Why we like it:

It's an easy wax to get a good finish with, which makes it a great choice for training wax when you're doing a lot of pairs and don't want to fuss.

Features and Functions:

PS7 is recommended from -2°C to -8°C and comes as 5 x 180g bars in a 900g box. Swix notes that its hardness makes it easier to work with and helps you get a good finish, and it serves as an all-round base prep wax as well as a training and touring wax. Swix recommends a relatively low 140°C at the iron, plus a reheat after the wax rests for 10 minutes to boost durability. Swix lists it as the replacement for CH7X.

Bottom Line:

This is the midwinter workhorse box for clubs and shops that wax for training and touring. It's an easy, reliable way to keep a lot of skis running.
