Swix Marathon Glide Wax

The powder format is designed for easier application. It melts more quickly and evenly under the iron, allowing for a smoother, more consistent base layer compared to the sometimes uneven melting of traditional hard blocks.

The black additive is specifically engineered to reduce friction and minimize the amount of dirt and contaminants that stick to your ski base. This is particularly effective in dirty or spring snow conditions where debris can significantly slow you down.

While it is a high-performance wax, it is specifically optimized for wet and dirty snow. If you are skiing in extremely cold, dry, or fresh powder conditions, you may find other waxes in the Swix lineup offer better performance.

Not at all. Swix has engineered this formula to provide competitive-level durability and glide without the use of fluorocarbons. It is designed to hold up well during long sessions, even in challenging, wet conditions.

You should set your waxing iron to 160 degrees Celsius. Ensure you allow the wax to cool completely before scraping and brushing to achieve the best possible finish.
