Why PHANTOM Glide?

PHANTOM Glide is a permanent, high-performance base treatment for skis and snowboards that increases hydrophobicity and improves glide performance across a variety of snow conditions. If you're the slacker and never wax your board, even though it should be done at minimum every 3 days on snow, you won't have to worry about being the slow poke in your group on 90% of the days. In the backcountry, one issue with traditional wax and skins is that those skins will rip the wax right off your base, reducing your glue effectiveness and also slowing down your board on the downhill. PHANTOM Glide is not wax. PHANTOM Glide differs from traditional wax because wax is not permanent. Wax is a temporary glide solution that functions only by coating the top layer of your base. After just a few runs, traditional wax wears off and glide performance diminishes.
