Why Choose DataWax Cobalt Backcountry Wax?


1. Tailored for Backcountry Touring
Designed specifically for backcountry tours, DataWax Cobalt Backcountry Wax excels in cold, challenging conditions. It’s ideal for those skinning up in freezing temperatures, offering smooth glide with less friction against hard, icy surfaces. Whether you're ascending in extreme cold or navigating icy descents, this wax ensures your skis and snowboard perform at their best.


2. Eco-Friendly, Fluoro-Free Formula
In line with DataWax’s commitment to sustainability, this wax is fluoro-free and eco-friendly. It’s formulated with a hydrocarbon base, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious riders. Unlike traditional waxes that contain harmful chemicals, DataWax Cobalt Backcountry Wax ensures that you can explore the backcountry without compromising on your environmental impact.


3. Perfect for Skins and Icy Conditions
The wax is specially designed for use with skins, providing the necessary glide while touring through deep cold or icy conditions. It enhances performance during ascents and makes turns easier and more controlled when transitioning onto icy pistes during your descent. If you're looking to maximise your backcountry experience with minimal effort, this wax is the perfect solution.


4. High-Temperature Iron-On Application
Like other DataWax products, the Cobalt Backcountry Wax requires an iron-on application at 125°C (260°F). This ensures the wax bonds deeply with your ski or snowboard base, maximising its durability and longevity. The deep penetration is particularly important in extremely cold conditions, where superficial wax can wear off quickly.


5. Reliable Performance in Extreme Cold
Whether you're touring in the backcountry or facing subzero temperatures, this wax excels in snow temperatures ranging from -25°C to -12°C (-15°F to 10°F). It is the ultimate choice for extreme cold, offering a reliable glide even on the most abrasive snow crystals. DataWax Cobalt ensures you don’t sacrifice performance, no matter how cold the snow gets.


6. Quality You Can Trust – Made in the UK
DataWax products are proudly made in the UK, ensuring a high standard of quality and craftsmanship that stands out from mass-produced alternatives. Each wax is carefully formulated with performance and durability in mind, providing you with reliable results every time. Unlike many global brands that outsource production, DataWax is committed to local manufacturing, ensuring consistency and attention to detail. By choosing DataWax, you’re not only getting a premium product but also supporting UK-based innovation and craftsmanship in the snow sports industry.


With DataWax Cobalt Backcountry Wax ("Very Cold"), you're equipped with a wax that thrives in the most extreme conditions. Whether you're heading out for a day of touring in the backcountry or navigating icy terrains, this wax will provide consistent performance, letting you focus on the adventure ahead.
