DAKINE BC SKIN WAX
The Dakine BC Skin Wax is a performance wax specifically designed for use on climbing skins for backcountry skis and splitboards to prevent snow and ice from sticking to the bases.
Key Product Details
Function: The wax prevents snow from "gloving" or building up on climbing skins, which can make ascents significantly more difficult. It also enhances glide, ensuring a more efficient and enjoyable backcountry experience.
Formula: It is a blended, PFC-free (perfluorocarbon-free) formula, making it an environmentally sensitive choice for backcountry use. According to multiple retailers, the wax is made of 100% petroleum-based paraffin wax.
Application: The wax can be applied in two ways:
Hot Waxing: This is the recommended method for the most durable application.
Rub-On: It can also be rubbed directly onto the skin bases for quick, on-the-go maintenance in the field.
Packaging: The wax comes in a compact 50-gram bar that is easy to carry in a pack or pocket. It typically includes a mini scraper for convenience.
Snow Conditions
The BC Skin Wax comes in different temperature-specific options or an all-temp formula to suit various snow conditions:
Cold: For use in temperatures below 20°F (~ -7°C).
Warm: For use in temperatures above 26°F (~ -3°C).
All Temp: A versatile option suitable for a wide variety of snow conditions.
