waxes - temperature range
Dear All,
I wonder if there any views out there about going out with the temperature ranges of waxes. Say you put on something that is recommended for use up to - 5C will it work reasonably well if the temp goes up to -3C or -2C. I suspect that there are a lot of variables. Neil |

waxes - temperature range
I should have added, I am a great fan of Rex Klister tape, which can be left
on for days- if the temperature range is great. "Neil" wrote in message ... Dear All, I wonder if there any views out there about going out with the temperature ranges of waxes.

waxes - temperature range
As I said I am a great fan of Rex Klister Tape, the cold version goes up
to -5C. One application can intended last for days. I will be going into the mountains west of Bjoirli in Norway. I expect the temperature to vary between -15c and 0c. wrote in message ...

Then what's your question? The Rex tape comes in two versions, down to
-20C (universal) and -25C (cold) - http://store.finnsisu.com/kickrex.html. I prefer the Start tape, but I found neither is very good above 2 or 3C. If you want to strip it and kick wax, that's a different matter. Some waxes tend to be true to their labels (Swix) and some vary considerably (Rode).

The universal should be O.K. I can put it on carefully at home and forget
about waxing for the rest of the tour, not a great pleasure in extreme cold. However Tape grip gold could suit the cold conditions and fresh better.

Neil- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Neil, Where is "Bjoirli"? I.e. what region of Norway? I have ski toured in several regions of Norway and have ecountered waxing conditions from cold dry snow (green wax) to high humidity (fog) near 0C and warm klister conditions during the Easter season. We have had to use skis at times. |
