Toko HF Black is most effective in snow that contains both free moisture and dirt. It can be used straight or mixed with another wax such as HF Yellow depending on conditions.
From head to toe, Borah Teamwear has expanded its retail Nordic collection to over 25 stock XC race suit designs and matching XC Tassel hats.
The Kurbits Race Suit is made from a new very thin and lightweight Italian polyester that offers superior function and body-temperature management. Compression fabrics keep the muscles focused while ultrasonic taped seams create optimal aerodynamics.
Over the past few years, teams had asked us to make the bloc waxes the same color so it was more difficult for prying eyes to see what they were using. For this reason, all 3 colors are white.
Conditions starting out on Thursday and Friday were warm with lots of rain falling and temperatures above freezing. Temperatures were projected to fall a bit overnight but never dropped super low due to cloud cover...
With warmer weather forecasted this week, the man-made snow at Huron Meadows Metropark and the Cross Country Ski Headquarters may be the only snow around. It seemed appropriate to post something about waxing for artificial snow.
Sign-up for your chance to win your own custom Nordic race suit! TWO lucky winners will be drawn on Friday, December 12. Each will have the opportunity to design their very own custom Nordic race suit with Borah’s Individual-Custom design center.
