I started using Swix waxes 50 years ago for cross country skiing. Then, the waxes were a bit of a mystery as there were many but for me, with then wooden skis, they all worked about the same. This kit has three waxes which REI describes as: V55 Red Special wax is designed for grip/glide around 32°F; V45 Violet Special wax works best between 21 and 32°F; V40 Blue wax is best for colder days between 10 and 28°F.So basically, one for when it’s freezing or a little warmer — that’s when ice tends to clump under your ski. So this will kick it loose. One for a little below freezing — that’s when you’re going to get a lot of kick and so this wax will give you some glide. One for colder days when it would be hard to generate enough kick without some extra boost. This makes sense and, I hope, will be easy to remember which to use when.

I am happy to have found the correct type of wax for my very old cross country skies. I will be applying the wax the next snow fall and am hoping for the perfect glide.

Good sizes & viarity for travel. Gave 4 stars because of confusion with instructions. The instructions were on 1 card. One side was English with Company name, items in package.The other side were application instructions entirely in Norwegian (?) with semi-helpful diagrams.

My only real criticism is the packaging: I wish they included purple, blue and green or white wax. I never use Swix red – it's a nightmare removing that bubblegum! Red klister picks up all manner of filth from the trails – dust, pine needles, bird poop, you name it. Removing purple is difficult enough using a putty knife, but getting purple or red wax gunk off the blade is a challenge unto itself.The synthetic cork is functional, if a downgrade from real cork. Buy a real cork if you prefer a feel closer to “palming†in the wax.Suggestion to Swix: package purple-blue-green waxes together and leave out the red goop. People can always buy red or white waxes as an addition if they need those.

I've been using Swix ski wax for classic skiing for more than 40 years and was very satisfied.

Classic kick wax with a modern “junk†cork I suggest buying a real one also

Living in a snow belt region of Canada, with a personal love to for active living this is a perfect kit for my winter needs. The seller was awesome - the order was slightly delayed and I received a very prompt reply from the seller with options. The tracking suggested to wait and in the end all arrived well packed only a few days late). Great product and awesome service :)
