Swix Hot Box
All -
If I had a spare $ 3000 to spend, I'd run right up to Inside Edge and pick me up a 20 pair Swix travel hot box! http://reliableracing.com/detail.cfm?edp=11025939&category=2500 - Bob |

Swix Hot Box
a large insulated box with a heating element and a thermal probe
inside? I will charge you $500 to make one, and I will get myself a new pair of Carbon (SWIX!) poles for the $350 too much that you paid me. wrote: All - If I had a spare $ 3000 to spend, I'd run right up to Inside Edge and pick me up a 20 pair Swix travel hot box! http://reliableracing.com/detail.cfm?edp=11025939&category=2500 - Bob |

I know, isn't that INSANE!! You can buy a fairly good used car for
$3,000. It's just some insluated fabric and a heater! |

I don't mind putting out (or dreaming of putting out) big bucks for a
product when I clearly see some creative thinking invested into it, even if it's grossly overpriced. But a high-tech heating box? I don't get it. I know of high-end heaters that control temperature to within 0.01C and cost roughly the same. But I doubt if 0.01C makes a difference in what SWIX wants to accomplish. |

After you fork over $3,000 for the hot box then $2,500 does not seem so
bad for the new, industrial strength rilling device that is featured in the 2007 Swix Race Ski Preparation guide. The guide is available for downloading on www.swixsport.com. Lots of good information on ski prep and waxing with SWIX products including some descriptions of optimum conditions for certain waxes. Maybe the idea is to make Cera F look cheap in comparison. wrote: I don't mind putting out (or dreaming of putting out) big bucks for a product when I clearly see some creative thinking invested into it, even if it's grossly overpriced.
