Since you already know the difference in types of wax, you must have at least an elementary understanding of why you use different temperature grade wax. Now, for a Buck and half a bar, I would buy a bar of cool water wax.
If you don’t have a $1.50, go for the Cold water wax. It is softer and will give you better traction. The tropical stuff will harden up on you.
