The Blue Ice Spike Protector keeps your ice axe's point sharp between routes. This ultralight TPU cap slips over the tip of the axe to guard the edge in transit and in your pack, held in place by an adjustable elastic cord.

At 9g it's an easy call for anyone travelling with sharp tools: it protects the spike, and it protects everything else in your bag from the spike.

Why you'll love it

• Protects the point – guards the edge in transit and in your pack
• Stays put – adjustable elastic cord for a secure fit
• Weighs 9g – tough TPU construction you'll forget is there
• Wide compatibility – fits Blue Ice Blackbird, Bluebird and Akila axes and most other ice axes

Who it's for

Any ice climber or mountaineer who carries axes in or on a pack and wants to protect the spike, and everything around it.
