Swix CH8 Hydrocarbon Wax

Skiing > Wax

Marmot Mountain

A very good, reliable and economical racing wax, as well as a general base prep wax and “travel” wax. CH stands for Hydrocarbon. This category has no fluorocarbon material in the blends. They are 100% high performance hydrocarbon paraffins. Although they can be looked upon as an economical racing wax group, the colder waxes perform very well alone, and the warmer waxes make an acceptable base layer for Cera F. Their colors and temperature ranges coincide with the HF and LF waxes. The CH waxes can be distinguished from the LF waxes by their darker shade of color. Recommended with Cera F as the final layer in racing.
