HWK is a lesser known brand from Austria that really focuses on making super fast racing waxes above everything else! These waxes are one of the top waxes chosen by elite level race teams. They have waxes for every application method and every condition. Their tools are also quite unique and great options to add to your wax box! Note: their catalogue isn't quite up to date!

UHX

HWK's world cup level top coats! These waxes are the best of the best! This line consists of wool-apply blocks, liquids, and powders. These products use the highest quality ingredients for the fastest performing skis that you can get. The UHX products are divided into 3 main snow types: Warm, Mid, and Cold. The Mid also has a Black version for dirty snow. These snow types are pretty general snow types but they handle different snow crystal sizes within each of their own temperature ranges.

Prototype Products

The prototype products are specially formulated products based on the UHX line, specifically the liquids and powders. There are 3 of each type. For the powders, the W19 is a dirty snow formula for wet, warm snow. The C8 and C9 are 2 extra cold snow powders for your testing. The C8 is a bit warmer of a wax for fresher snow. The C9 is for colder, drier snow. For the liquids, The FFL-34 is for grainier, older moist-wet snow. The FFL-65 and FFL-66 are specific dirty snow liquids for their respective conditions.

HX Products

The HX line of waxes are the racing base products. Currently produced are a full line of melt waxes, and a condensed line of liquids. The liquids are pretty universal for their conditions. They are perfect for lower stakes racing and loppets, or as a base for UHX top coat products. The melt waxes are also perfect for these occasions, but the warm and cold products are split into new snow and universal versions.

LX

A small collection of base waxes for training and recreation. The LX line contains a melt wax for the 3 main conditions: Warm, Mid, and Cold; as well as a universal liquid for standard skiing conditions. The LX Base products are great on their own for easy skiing and training; using as a high quality base for HX or UHX products; or as a loppet wax for skiers that want their skis to be a bit faster on the day!

Other Glide Waxes

A few other great choices from the HWK line up of glide waxes. The Alpine Servicewax and the Racingwax Service are ideal waxes for base prep of brand new and freshly stone-ground skis. They make a great storage and travel wax as well with the Racingwax coming in a pellet option for wax machines. The A1 is a simple, universal recreational wax; great for bulk amounts of skis. The final three waxes are cold weather racing gliders. All 3 are great for mid-winter, aggressive snow. The Polar Extreme powders are 100% raceable waxes! The silver option performs well in new snow conditions!

Roto Tools

We were weary on whether the HWK tools were going to be anything special or not! They are great! Affordable and high quality! We personally use the steel and the natural brushes in our backshop and love both of them! The steel removes everything you need removed from a base with just one pass. It also rarely throws any bristles if any at all! With other market options costing so much more, it is crazy to think you would need more than this! The natural brush is ideal for softer waxes when doing base prep! Treat it like you would a horsehair on harder waxes. It cleans deep into structure and preps the ski for a harder wax. HWK also has a small roto kit, though the steel is sold separately.

Other Waxing Tools

A few other waxing tools for your kit! The Aluminum groove scraper will NEVER go bad! It doesn't get dull, it doesn't rust, it doesn't get gouged; never buy a plastic groove scraper again! The weight of this groove scraper allows clean grooves with just 1 pass! Keep that freshly scraped wax off your clothes with their lederhosen apron! Then when your skis are freshly race waxed, top them off with the SpeedPro Structure Tool. This tool uses the Finite system which has been well known as one of the best structure systems invented!
