Surmount Glidewax Liquid 100ml

Skin skis are wax-free cross-country skis. The waxing zone contains small hairs, like real skin, which provide grip. Even if you don't need to wax your skis with grip wax, for example, we recommend that you add products to the skins for the optimum experience and so that your skin skis last as long as possible.

To maintain the skin, we recommend cleaning, impregnation and boosting for optimal skiing. The glide zone must also be maintained with glide wax, like regular cross-country skis.

Skin skis should not be waxed like regular classic skis, but you must clean the skin with a separate cleaner (Skin Cleaner), impregnate it (Skin Impregnation) and preferably use a boost (Skin Boost) between each ski trip if you want optimum grip and glide.

It is very important that you do not use ordinary ski cleaners, which are used for waxing, when cleaning skin. Using commercially available ski cleaners will remove the adhesive from the skin.

You should also regularly glide wax the ski with a simple glide wax (N19 Glide Wax) to maintain the glide or use more advanced methods to achieve better glide.

To clean skin skis, use a special cleaner (Skin Cleaner). You spray the cleaner onto the fiberlene and rub the skin until it is clean. Do not use ordinary ski cleaners, as they will remove the adhesive from the skin.

To impregnate skin skis, you can use our new Skin Impregnation. It is very easy to apply to a clean, dry skin. First shake the bottle, unscrew the cap and gently squeeze the sponge on the skin, then drag it over the skin.

We recommend that the skin is impregnated before use and cleaned after use. Use suitable products designed for skin skis: Skin Boost, Skin Impregnation and Skin Cleaner.

The glide zone on the skin skis must be saturated and prepared like all other skis. On saturated skis, you can use a liquid glide wax if you want easy maintenance of the glide.

To get a better grip on a skin ski, we recommend moving the binding slightly forward. It is also important that the skin is clean and remains dry.

By cleaning the skin with Skin Cleaner, impregnating the skin to avoid icing with Skin Impregnation and Skin Boost, the skin will flex more easily when you slide forward and the hairs on the skin will grip the snow better when you kick off.

Skin skis are best used when the ski trails are firm, preferably around 0 degrees. If the ski trails become too loose, you may experience poorer grip. The reason for this is because the hairs on the skin do not stick well enough to the snow as you kick off, because the snow is too loose.
