DMM Flux

Ice axes don't quite jive with running vests or belts, which can make moving light and fast more tricky. The forward-thinking minds at DMM, who hail from a land called Wales, have brought to market the solution: the 35cm Flux. With 10cm of length shaved off a typical ice axe, what was once an odd length to carry is now a stowable tool that's anything but inefficient. Its short stature will slip right into the pole attachment on your running vest or belt, which will go unnoticed during the miles to your objective. The 242 grams isn't likely to cause fatigue when used, and the functionality increases because of the full steel pick. The Flux's ease of stowing and retrieving is a cinch, and its scant weight makes it easier to take on more adventures.

• CNC machining on the shaft for better grip.
• Full steel pick increases the overall strength and durability.
• Large tethering points are functional points to clip into.
• Steel hammer will make quick work of pitons and pickets.
• Ease of storing the Flux is second to none.
