Swix "Racing Wax" vs CH series?

[davjr96]

I'm a little confused by Swix's wax line-up (and waxes in general but that's another day ). They have a product called 'racing wax' which has a couple different temperature ranges. Here's a link to the warm one http://www.racewax.com/bio-degradable-swix-ski-snowboard-wax-ur10-6-warm/. They also have their CH series which seems to be very popular and has many temperature ranges. How do these compare? Why is the racing wax special? Just marketing or a different formulation? Thanks!

"Racing wax" line is more basic, lower end wax line where you basically end up with 2 or 3 so called universal waxes. It's meant for home, not really advanced use, not to confuse people with many different waxes, but you sacrifice some speed with it.
CH waxes are normal race line for non-fluoro waxes, where temperature range of specific wax is relatively small, so you need to pick wax that works for certain temperature/snow (range is basically 4-6 degrees), and you end up with some 6 or 7 different waxes covering all temperature range. After that there's of course LF and HF waxes, which are basically some thing just with added fluoro.
Yeah name on universal line could be different and less confusing, as now it gives impression "Racing wax" is actually better then CH wax

I was confused by the talk of "universal" and "racing" on the same wax. Like jumbo shrimp. It was the price that screamed "This is not what you want".
