We've upgraded the leash with a locking carabiner for added security when clipped to your axe´s head or spike, we've added extension to the elastic webbing, and we've updated the webbing to polyester which absorbs less water than standard nylon. This thoughtful update ensures the leash resists freezing, stays lighter in wet conditions, and maintains its elastic properties when you need them most, providing superior performance in challenging alpine environments. The dynamic, stretchy nature of the leash allows for unhindered swings, easy hand-swapping, and full reach when plunging the shaft, giving you complete operational freedom.StrapsThis product features a high-performance, single-strap tethering system designed specifically for one piolet or ice axe.
