 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys,
I have something out of left field that i was hoping some of you could assist me and my 9 year old son with.
First off i wanna say that we do ski but is no way do we consider ourselves very good at it. However my son is an ice hockey hockey goalie and its in this area that we are looking for some suggestions or opinions.
We recently upgraded his goalie pads, they are heavier and he dont slide as quickly as his previous model. These are warrior G5 pads and are made with some sort of synthetic leather.
I've read that ski wax could help dramatically with being able to slide much quicker on the ice. i also saw a video where someone used yellow toko paraffin based which looked like a crayon and she colored it on and said it really worked well but i have no clue what model it was. The ice temp conditions are between -2 and -5 degrees Celsius.
Any suggestions on what product could work best?

You could try a barrier (IE some glove waterproofing) then some Zardoz on top.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Why not try some cheap candle wax first.

Ski wax is temperature specific, so just go for one that matches the temperature of the ice. It shouldn't matter much which make or price range.
