Datawax Butane Backcountry Wax

DataWax Butane Backcountry Wax is built for those who earn their turns. Designed specifically for skinning and touring, this high-performance, eco-friendly wax reduces friction on hard snow crystals, making uphill travel more efficient and less exhausting, even in cold, demanding backcountry conditions. Formulated for snow temperatures between -16°C to -6°C Butane “Cold Snow” delivers optimal glide and control where it matters most: on icy skin tracks, wind-scoured ridgelines, and deep winter tours. It’s the ideal choice for riders who need consistent, reliable performance on every mission into the mountains.

Unlike conventional waxes, Butane is specially developed for use with climbing skins, minimising build-up while offering a smooth, frictionless feel underfoot. Its eco-friendly, fluoro-free hydrocarbon blend ensures that your adventure leaves a smaller impact on the environment, without sacrificing speed or durability.

Perfect for base loading, this iron-on wax (applied at 120°C / 250°F) penetrates deeply into your ski or snowboard base, offering long-lasting protection and performance across multiple tours. It outlasts rub-on waxes and delivers professional-grade glide you can rely on.

With DataWax Butane Backcountry Wax, you’re not just prepared for winter, you’re dialed in. Trusted by expert riders and guides, it’s your go-to wax for high-efficiency ascents and smooth, powerful descents. Gear up with DataWax and elevate your backcountry experience.
