HS8 is a popular glide wax for both base preparation and training. High Speed (HS) is specially developed for younger racers and the ambitious leisure skier. All waxes in this series have high performance and good durability. This makes them an affordable option for both competition and training. HS8 is easy to melt and very convenient to work with. It is equally suited for both training and racing. How to apply HS8: The speed of the waxing iron should be approx. 8-10 seconds for a skating or alpine ski. The wax can be reheated after cooling to room temperature (10 min.) for better durability. It is important to have a good waxing iron in order to melt the wax efficiently. Recommended waxing iron temp.: 150°C. HS8 is available as both wax and liquid products.
