Star has now come out with more great iron options to satisfy everyone. This iron is the most basic iron that still gets the job done on all paraffins. It is more economical because it forgoes the digital display and only goes up to 160C. This is a great iron for teams and for new skiers applying paraffins.
The electronics are designed by Davide Mosele, the head engineer at Star, and the irons are made in Italy at the Star factory. No other major wax company builds their own irons, and most are manufactured in China.
