The Salewa Pick Guard is a moulded cover for the pick of an ice axe. It does two jobs at once: it keeps the pick from being blunted or chipped in transit, and it keeps a very sharp piece of steel away from everything else in and on your pack.

• 20 g: negligible weight for the damage it prevents in both directions.
• Elastic retaining loop: adjustable, so it stays on the pick rather than working loose in a pack.
• High visibility orange: chosen by Salewa so the guard is findable if it comes off in snow.
• One size, fits most Salewa picks: a universal accessory rather than a model specific part.
• Not protective equipment: this is a transport cover, with no strength rating and no role in a climbing system.
• Made in Italy
