Klister Wax

Klister Wax: The Most Adhesive Kick Wax

Klister wax offers enhanced grip on snow and is a specific type of kick wax. It's particularly useful under icy or very wet conditions where typical kick wax fails to adhere properly. By applying klister ski wax over your standard kick wax, you improve traction. Be sure to select the appropriate klister wax variant based on the temperature range you plan to ski in.

What is the Proper Way to Apply Klister Wax?

This wax is packaged in a tube that looks like a toothpaste tube. Begin by placing small dabs of wax onto the kick zone, located beneath the ski bindings along the ski groove (spacing them about 1 cm apart). Spread this wax evenly over the grip zone with a scraper, waxing iron, or simply your thumb to form a fine layer. Once it's smooth, let it cool to prepare for the trails. For a quicker method, consider using klister spray wax, which simplifies the process significantly.
