Toko Helix-Any Feedback Yet?

Since it's coming into later part of the season with spring granular
conditions arriving soon, I was wondering if anyone has had some
experience with the new Toko Helix spray wax. I prefer this spray to
hot ironing fluro's. Any feedback woulb be appreciated. Thanks.

Used Helx at Lake Placid Marathon.
Tried those skis on Tuesday at our weekly race. Still faster than my
other skis that I had spent hours waxing. So, yes, it's awesomely fast
and it lasts.

I found it ALOT easier to use, and it works awesome.
I have compared it many times to Cera-F, Jet stream, etc, and 9 out of 10
times it is faster.

The word is ten.
I'm keeping track by marking the bottles with a tick mark everytime I
use it so I can verify this. Of course, we've only had super cold
weather for the past 6 weeks so I've barely used any.

Rob-

Are you CRAZY! this stuff is dog slow and I don't think anyone should
use it!
Other than the team that I coach! Now to be honest with you all- I
think I like even more than the Toko people do. I have never found it
to slow skis down- even in cold/cold snow I have seen it help. It is
wicked fast in those normal fluoro conditions. It is still most
important to have the correct flex, with the correct grind and the
proper base layers to have it work it's best. It also works best for
old guys like Rob!

I had Cold Helix over HF Blue at the White Pine Stampede 50km skate
race. Had great glide and good breakaway speed on the uphills. I was
outgliding a friend using JetStream. (He still beat me - by a wide
margin - at the end. Guess wax doesn't make up for lack of
traininig....)

Weather was high teens and cloudy at the start, then the sun came out
and the temps dropped a couple degrees.

Toko's Michael Dean had some more details about using Helix at the
National Masters - I have an article about what he said almost ready
to post on my web site.
