The Nordic Classic Kick Grip Wax – Universal P44 is a versatile grip wax designed for classic cross-country skiing, particularly when skiing on fresh or newly falling snow. It helps provide the traction needed during the kick phase while maintaining a smooth and controlled glide, making it a practical choice for recreational skiers, training sessions, and classic skiing enthusiasts.

Designed to be applied to the ski’s holding zone, P44 helps create the right balance between grip and glide. The correct holding zone depends on factors such as the ski’s camber, the skier’s weight, skiing technique, and snow conditions. Applying the wax correctly can help improve kick efficiency and make classic skiing more comfortable and controlled.

The universal formulation makes this wax a convenient option when snow is fresh or actively falling. For skiers who prefer to fine-tune their grip, several thin layers can be applied successively to the holding zone. This allows the amount of grip to be adjusted according to the conditions and individual skiing requirements.
