415 Olympico Red +2…-2 °C (36…28°F)
New and Old Snow
Olympico Red is suited for all snow conditions in temperatures around freezing but it is at its best in new snow down to -3°C (27°F). For old snow and very high humidity, Olympico Red is worth trying, even at -5 °C (23 °F). Begin the waxing for the day with one layer of RCF blue (#402) or purple (#407). Follow with Olympico Red. Finish with TK-50 –powder (#485) when temperature is above 0°C (32°F), and with TK-28 powder (#487) or TK-244 powder/block (#479/480) or even TK-72 block (#483) when it is freezing. Glide speed can be further increased with Rex fluorine gels or with TK-72 block (#483).
The Olympico series is the top of the glide wax series line. It is recommended for professional and citizen racers, as well as the active recreational skier. Olympico waxes are intended for use when the relative humidity of the snow or air is high or when the race course has long, high-speed descents. It is easy to use and it is not necessary to mix these waxes together.
Olympico waxes are often used as a topcoat over RCF waxes, before finishing with fluorinated coatings. In this way, the total amount of the fluor can be raised to a high level. But remember, high fluor waxes are generally not as durable as low fluor waxes.
