To that end, we recommend it for running more t..

Most notably, the weight is now distributed all around with the ultrathin lamp upfront and the power source in the back. And like that, the dreaded, front-hea..

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 stat..
