Swix VR 55 Silver Violet Fluorinated Hardwax is for slightly moist new snow around freezing 0°C (32°F), and for older transformed snow below freezing. It gives excellent kick without sacrificing glide. The VR Series Hardwaxes are characterized by a high degree of flexibility. Each VR-wax has two specified temperature ranges, one for falling and new fallen snow, characterized by sharp snow crystals with relatively strong penetration capacity, and one range for older snow, when the crystals are rounded off and have less penetration power.
