Rode Nera Klister (stick, 45g)

This stuff is mostly pine tar as far as I can tell. Tar is good for avoiding icing in new snow, but so is kick wax that isn’t klister! I always find that Nera has less kick than I expect – I consider it more of a cold klister than the advertised -2 to +5 range. It hasn’t been race wax for me – I have always beat it with something else – but I’ll keep trying because I love the smell. For my next set of attempts I’ll be mixing it with softer klisters. I’m thinking a Special Rossa/Nera mix for new snow…
