💰 The Real Cost: Per Ski Day
Competing race waxes look cheaper — until you do the math.
- Typical competing race wax: $25–40 per bar — lasts 1 race day. Cost: $25–40 per ski day.
- Hertel Racing 739 5oz ($35.00): Lasts up to 7 days per application. Up to 3 full applications per bar. Cost: as low as $1.67 per ski day.
One wax. Any temperature. Olympic-proven. Fluoro-free. A fraction of the cost. That's the Hertel difference.
Reformulated for a Warmer World
As climate change pushes pollen seasons earlier and extends them deeper into ski season, even race-day conditions are increasingly affected. The 2026 Racing 739™ formula update adds stronger pollen-repellent surfactant chemistry — so your race wax performs in the conditions you actually face today. Read the full story →

Good stuff! Can use it for anything from free skiing to ski instructing to racing beer league and it does the job. Will buy again.
After 25 years of snowboarding (mainly freeride and racing in the Alps), this is simply the best wax I've ever used. Easy to use and fast!! Lasts well between applications.
Super slippy
Great wax!! Have been using since mid 1980's.
Great wax, now i am keeping up with the big boys..
