Hot Ice

The Karrimor Hot Ice pack .

The original was part of the “hot” series, but the ice pack was the one I wanted. It is small , maybe 20 liters, truly a pack to climb with. Getting to a climb probably meant ropes were carried outside the pack. It's just a single contoured sac, foam padded back, flat top flap pocket, single drawcord closure, fits just 2 old school ice tools, the Simon Chacal hammer, is ,um, period correct. The only things not 100% are the top crampon straps, the back ends need to be sewn in closer together, I made the shoulder straps a few inches longer. The originals were only padded for 12”. I added a sternum strap. 2” blue belt is correct, as is the buckle. In its simplicity this is very much the white light/white heat pack I make. Does one thing really well: stays out of your way when climbing with it on. 

these are batch built about once a year.

How to order:

  1. place the item you want in the cart
  2. schedule phone, zoom or in person design meeting (optional on non custom gear like duffels,classic packs ect.)
  3. pay the design/consult fee
  4. watch the snow fall
  5. open email that your order is up and visit/call/zoom to finalize pack/bike bags/etc.
  6. pay final invoice
  7. wait 4-6 weeks to get your gear!

The current base price is $350 but the $100 doesn't lock in the final price. It may change between when you get on the list and I get to it. I have no idea what Tariffs will do to material costs.
