Most wax brands sell you a different color for every temperature. Hertel doesn't. Here's the science behind why one formula outperforms them all.

Every major ski wax brand traces back to the same WWII military formula. For 80 years, they've repackaged it in crayon colors and called it innovation. Terry Hertel changed that in 1974. FYI, I invented the first ever HotWaxer in 1972. 

Warmer temperatures and unpredictable snow are changing skiing. Hertel's All Temperature Wax has been the answer for over 55 years — one wax for every condition, no guessing required.

If you've ever stood in a ski shop staring at a wall of color-coded waxes wondering which one to buy, you've already experienced the problem that Terry Hertel set out to solve in 1972. The traditional ski wax system was designed to sell products — not to help skiers. Temperature-specific waxes require you to know your snow temperature to the degree, carry multiple products, and predict how conditions will change throughout the day. On a real mountain, that system fails constantly. The All-Temperature Solution In 1974, Terry Hertel invented the All Temperature® ski wax system — a single formula engineered...

"All temperature ski wax" is one of the most searched terms in ski wax. It is also one of the most misunderstood — because dozens of brands use the label without the engineering to back it up. Terry Hertel invented the All Temperature® ski wax system in 1974. This is his complete answer to the question. What All Temperature Ski Wax Actually Means All temperature ski wax (All Temp) is a formula engineered to perform across a broad range of snow temperatures and conditions — typically from approximately 6°F to 52°F (-14°C to 11°C) — without requiring the skier to...
