mountainFLOW eco-wax Skin Wax, Rub On

mountainFLOW Skin Wax (Rub On) is an easy-to-use skin wax that helps prevent icing on climbing skins and adds extra glide. It is plant-based, biodegradable and non-toxic with 0% petroleum, and each bar is 56 g.

Most skin wax is made from petroleum, and whatever you put on your skins goes straight into the environment. The trade-off of any skin wax is that it is a maintenance step, not a one-time fix, so plan to reapply as conditions change through the season.

It is for touring skiers who have fought snow balling up under their skins, which mountainFLOW rightly calls the worst. Put your skins on your skis, then rub the wax on the plush side. It is best done before you start your tour, but you can also apply it on the skin track.

One 56 g bar, small enough to live in your pack.

We think this is one of the best small additions to any touring kit, and it makes those wet, sticky spring days on the skin track a lot more fun.
