Following in the steps of
the Altitude and Leopard, the
new 550-gram Gully weighs
about the same as a single
Quark ice tool. Featuring a
stainless steel, 2.9mm needle
point, it excels as a light and
fast axe that’s capable of seri-
ous climbing. Small enough to
fit in a pack (45cm), technical
enough to climb hard, and
light enough to carry as a
pair, says Petzl.
PrimaLoft introduces a high-performing blowable
synthetic insulation with the look and feel of natural
down. PrimaLoft Black Insulation ThermoPlume fea-
tures a blend of water-resistant PrimaLoft fibers that de-
liver insulating loft, wet weather protection and compress-
ibility. Black ThermoPlume is manufactured with small,
silky tufts of fiber plumes that collectively form a loose fill
insulation, replicating the lightweight warmth, softness and
compressibility of natural goose down, says the company.
The AAA-powered 165-lumen Axis
headlamp features a diverse array of
control options in a simplistic design.
The press of a button sets the mode
on spot, flood or red light and an easy-
to-use dial system lets users dim any
of those beams to their desired level.
The simple, ergonomic design allows
for quick setting, even with cold hands
or gloves on. SRP is $39.99.
