 Ski
Wax
HelX remains Toko's most exciting and fastest ski wax.
Carbon Grip White is a new grip wax that is appropriate for
snow temperatures between 9 and 19 F. It is especially good
for cold artificial snow.
Cross Country Ski Poles - the official pole of Team
Rossignol and Subaru Factory Team
- The new C232 is 100% Carbon Fiber (a similar pole) with
sublimated graphics. All Toko poles will be sublimated except
for the P232.
- The new A161 is a 70% Carbon Fiber pole that comes with
a cork grip and removable strap and a racing powder basket.
The A161 costs $139.
- The A141 is a 50% Carbon Fiber pole that comes with a cork
grip and adjustable strap and a racing powder basket. The
A141 costs $92.
- The T81 is one that Toko Brand Manager Ian Harvey is probably
most excited about, "This pole is an improvement on the
old Yoko Mistral pole which was very popular." The T81
is 30% Carbon Fiber, has a dual density grip, and a nice loop
strap with neoprene backing for more cushion and width for
support. The T81 comes with a racing powder basket.
The racing powder basket that the A161, A141, and T81 come
with is very light and stiff, but still offers quite a lot
of surface area to prevent the pole from punching through
soft snow.
 Cross
Country Ski Gloves
The Champion WS is a new exciting glove that came about as
a result of synergy between Mammut and Toko. The Champion
WS involves a new softshell material known as Windstopper
Taifun. This glove is light enough for racing in warmer temperatures,
but will still keep hands comfortable and dry in colder temperatures
too. The fit is excellent as Toko gloves are known for. The
Champion has a Clarino palm, a Velcro wrist closure, and is
a black and smoke color. The Champion is also available in
Women's specific models and 232 integrated models. The basic
Champion WS glove costs $65.
Cross Country Ski Pole Tube
Toko is a leading Cross Country ski pole manufacturer and
for this reason needs to offer its customers a ski pole tube.
This is an adjustable length pole tube with carrying strap
and additional top pocket for replacement parts. The ski pole
tube carries up to 5 pair of poles and costs $125.
