Test Results and Discussion

  We tested both kick and glide at various times today, but focused on the afternoon as temps were up to acceptable test levels for tomorrow AM, though probably shy of where the high will be. Once again we found that having a very hard graphite like SkiGo LF Graphite or Start Graphite as a first layer to keep the skis clean over this distance makes a huge difference. The HF layers also need to be very hard, and even though waxes such as SkiGo Yellow tested better, they accumulated dirt and slowed down after five kilometers. Thus, we are recommending what was second in our test because of its hardness, Holmenkol Matrix Blue. Topcoat test results are inside.
