5.6oz Indy Hot Wax

"PFC Free" means that the wax does not contain perfluorinated compounds, which can be harmful to the environment. Choosing PFC Free products helps reduce your ecological footprint while still providing excellent performance for your skis or snowboard.

Rub-on wax is applied directly by rubbing it onto the surface, making it a quick and easy option for maintenance. Iron-on wax, on the other hand, requires a heated iron to melt the wax onto the surface, resulting in a more thorough and longer-lasting application. Your choice depends on how much time you want to invest in maintenance and the level of performance you desire.

Wax is categorized by temperature ranges: "All Temp" works well in various conditions, "Cold" is ideal for temperatures below 20°F, and "Warm" is best for temperatures above 26°F. Selecting the right wax for the current snow conditions ensures optimal performance and a better experience on the slopes.

A fluorinated additive enhances the wax's performance by reducing friction on snow, which can increase your speed. However, fluorinated waxes can have negative environmental impacts. If performance is your top priority, you might opt for fluorinated wax, but if you’re environmentally conscious, consider a PFC Free option without fluorinated additives.

Regular maintenance, including waxing, is crucial for ensuring that your skis and snowboards perform well and last longer. Proper care helps maintain edge control, glide, and overall safety on the slopes, making your time on the mountain more enjoyable.

The frequency of waxing depends on how often you ride and the conditions you encounter. As a general rule, you should wax your skis or snowboard every 5-10 days of riding or whenever you notice the base looking dry or feeling slow. Regular waxing helps maintain optimal performance and prolongs the life of your equipment.
