Ensure the highest level of safety and prolong the life of your gear with the Salewa Pick Guard, an indispensable accessory for any mountaineer, alpinist, or winter hiker. Designed specifically as a vital piece of hiking equipment for the Ice axes subcategory, this protector offers a simple, robust, and highly effective solution for covering the sharp, aggressive pick of your ice axe.

The Pick Guard is made of durable thermoplastic and adjusts to fit the shape of most Salewa ice axe picks. The adjustable, elasticated loop ensures secure fixation.

The robust material is built to withstand the harsh conditions of the alpine environment, resisting cold temperatures and abrasion. The universal compatibility with Salewa ice axes ensures a snug and reliable fit, while the innovative adjustable sling offers a secondary level of security. You can loop it around the shaft of your axe, guaranteeing that the guard remains attached even when removed temporarily, making it nearly impossible to lose on the mountain.
