Swix DH7 World Cup Glider 180g

Cold, humid race days call for a glider that holds up under pressure, and the Swix DH7 World Cup Glider 180g is built for them. It's an alpine racing glider with a water-repelling additive and a polyethylene hardener for durability. The ski stays consistent and the base stays protected through hard, high-pressure turns.

Why we like it:

It doubles as a reliable base layer for tough race conditions, so one bar can set up the base and carry the race.

Features and Functions:

DH7 is developed for alpine racing in cold, humid conditions. A silicone-based hydrophobic additive improves water repellency, and a polyethylene hardener adds durability and wax absorption. Its hardness and elasticity are tuned for smooth application, it keeps stable friction properties at extreme speeds, and Swix says it protects against base burn in high-pressure turns. It also serves as a dependable base layer under other race waxes.

Bottom Line:

This is a World Cup-level glider for alpine racers and coaches who wax for cold, humid courses. It belongs in a serious race wax box.
