"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""Waxing for tricky near-freezing conditions can be a challenge, but VP55 makes it easier. The water-repellent additive helps maintain glide even when the snow is wet, and it still delivers great grip in both fresh and transformed snow. I apply it in thin layers and smooth it with a synthetic cork for the best results—perfect for training days and race day alike."" When the snow is wet and conditions are unpredictable, we trust VP55 Pro Wax to keep our kick strong and our glide smooth. Designed for fine-grained snow from 1°C to -2°C and transformed snow from 0°C to -5°C, this dark violet wax excels in tricky, near-freezing temperatures. Swix enhanced this formula with a water-repellent additive, reducing drag while maintaining the grip we need for confident strides. For best performance, we apply thin layers and smooth it with a synthetic cork before hitting the track. Whether training or racing, this wax helps us maximize efficiency when conditions are at their most challenging."
