Why doesn't REI have cold-weather grip waxes?
Very disappointed that the pack does not contain Green wax. I knew it when I bought, but had no other choice because REI no longer sells grip wax for the colder temps. You have both Green and Polar base binder waxes but not the kick waxes to go on top. I don't believe base binders provide any grip. Also the "synthetic cork" in the pack is styrofoam. I'll try it but am afraid it will crumble and blow across the wilderness.
Indispensable
I've been using Swix since I started Xcountry skiing in 1971 on both plastic and wood skis. It has the advantage of allowing for accommodating different loads simply by changing the area of the kicker. It's ok on plastic skis that tend to have less camber but great on wood skis which are by far my preference.
REI, Please Carry a Wider Range of Kick Waxes
This was a nice pack to buy to cover a decent temp range, but sometimes I ski in colder conditions and wish this set of kick waxes covered a wider range. And it's odd that REI doesn't carry one or two more colder kick waxes. REI, you're making me go to other outdoors stores - what the heck?!?
