COLLTEX

Brand History

Up until 1968 skiers used adhesive wax on their skis. This had a number of drawbacks and Swiss inventor Hans Fischli set out to solve those problems. He created a pressure-sensitive adhesive that functioned as the world's first ski skin. In the subsequent half-century the company has refused to rest on its laurels and has expanded whilst also creating new products. Innovation remains at the forefront of the business, always keeping in mind the fundamentals of safety and comfort.

Brand Strengths

Technical Expertise

Colltex literally invented the ski skin and therefore has the technical knowledge necessary to create the best products in this field. The company also has the benefit of 50 years worth of tinkering with its invention in order to take the lead in product development as a whole.

Extensive Research

Innovation is a fundamental part of Colltex's business. In order to stay ahead of the rest of the market the company must - and does - engage in a great deal of research. In particular Colltex talks to professional skiers, recreational off-piste skiers, mountain guides, and retailers. The feedback on existing products provides much-needed information to allow for the creation of new products.

Quickspray

For those occasions when a full re-application of the adhesive surface is not necessary but time is of the essence. This handy and very portable adhesive spray is perfect for the skier on the go.

Ski + Skin Wax

Ideal for use when travelling, this wax can be applied to the ski skin or directly to the ski itself. The waterproof paraffin wax prevents the build-up of snow on the ski and allows for better gliding.
