Waxes and waxes to care for your skis and snowboards
When you're skiing or snowboarding, taking care of your equipment is essential to guarantee optimum performance on the slopes. Choosing the right wax can make all the difference to your skiing experience. In this category, we offer you a selection of the best products for maintaining your skis and snowboards, so you can enjoy every run to the full.
Why use wax for your skis and snowboards?
Regular application of wax not only improves glide, but also protects your equipment from wear and tear. Good maintenance helps reduce friction between skis and snow, which translates into better speed and control. What's more, it extends the life of your equipment by preventing damage caused by moisture and impurities on the snow.
How do I choose the right wax for my skis?
The choice of wax depends mainly on the weather conditions and the type of snow you encounter. There are several types of wax: spray, liquid and solid. Spray waxes are ideal for quick maintenance before an impromptu outing, while solid waxes offer superior durability for extended sessions. For those who practice downhill skiing or snowboarding regularly, investing in a wax specific to these disciplines is recommended.

Tips for applying your ski or snowboard wax correctly
Applying wax requires a few simple but essential steps: start by carefully cleaning your skis with a soft cloth to remove any accumulated dirt. Next, apply the wax of your choice (liquid or solid) evenly, making sure to cover the entire base. Finally, leave to dry for a few minutes before using a waxing iron if necessary to thoroughly impregnate the product into the sole.
