The Salewa Tex X Hammer Ice Axe is not the latest model of Salewa but is one of the most versatile models ever produced. The Salewa Tex X Hammer Ice Axe has ergonomic head with optimally balanced weight for a perfect swing and placement. The 20° curve in the shaft makes sure the user can use not much power and deliver an outstanding stroke power.
The pick of the Tec X is aggressive and interchangeable made out of tempered steel. One of the most interesting features of this ice axe is the ergonomically shaped ProGrip shaft which also has a sanded print grip zone. This facilitates the user to have optimal control even in low temperatures and wet conditions. The curved shape of the shaft enables comfortable climbing on steep terrain which means the user needs to spend less energy on using this ice tool.
