Swix Liquid Gliders

Does anyone have any feedback on the new crop of the swix liquid
gliders. (Comes in three flavors for cold, moderate, warm) They
appear to be new this year, though I've seen reference to them in the
past.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Not sure about the new ones, but the Swix EasyWax liquid glider worked
alright for recreational use last season. I did find, however, that they
didn't last overly long - after a few km's glide started going downhill
(but still better than no waxing at all).

I seem to remember that the Swix pure flouro liquids didn't come out
last year, but the year before. Swix has taken a much different
approach on recommended uses for the liquid than another company. They
believe (the last I heard) that the powders and solids are the fluoro
of choice for medium and long races, and the liquid should be used an
an overlay of the solid just to make sure the ski has been completed
covered with fluoro. I think they say you can use just the liquid for
races up to 10 km.

Of course things get complicated since they have out other liquid
gliders and now liquid kickers.

Check out a recent article on nordicskiracer.com on how to use the
high-zoot Swix liquids, from Swix racing. Bjorn is correct, the
article just gives the techie details.
