WILD COUNTRY PRO-KEY
|
The Pro-key is our completely new nut key. With a host of great features (including the new leash) to make it easier to help you free-up your 'too-expensive to leave behind' rack of shiny beauties.
The 2008 Nut Key offers more, and should save you $$$'s in retrieving 'lost' pro....
A radical update makes this tool more adaptable and easier to use. The Pro-key comes with a new precision ground tip which allows access to the smallest slots, as well as a wire gate at the top which allows a direct clip to the harness.
Added to this, a one piece a 'folded top' gives a bigger surface area to allow a firmer (less painful) push with the palm and large central holes keep the weight down.
Finally, and exclusively, the Pro-Key is available with an extendable detachable and flexible leash which can be clipped (via a mini-wiregate biner) to your harness preventing loss in extreme positions.

SPIRIT IMPACT VELCRO, Ladies and Mens
The Spirit Velcro Impact Zone has had great reviews in its first year, and with this hearty “thumbs up” from reviewers sales have been equally strong. Fitting in superbly between the Spirit and the Corona, this Velcro Spirit has been found to be a real winner for bouldering, routes and redpoints at all levels.
With an immediate, wrap-around feel, enhanced by triple velcro straps for a custom control fit and a more compact toe shape this Velcro has more precision at the toe as well as a new heel that grips and hooks superbly. A new wide entry makes it easy to slip on and off, and the new Impact Zone heel was praised by reviewers for the extra comfort it gave at the crag, whether walking down, jumping off or trucking round circuits.

DMM OFFSETS
DMM is bringing an old favourite back to the market. The high demand for these nuts is because their complex offset shape offers placement opportunities when nothing else will fit. These nuts are based on the famed HB Alloy Offsets and were produced using modified versions of the original HB dies. In typical DMM fashion we have brought them into the 21st century with colour coded sizing, recessed wires and lightening holes in the largest two sizes.

DMM BRASS OFFSETS and IMPS
The HB Brass Offsets offset micro wires developed a fanatical following and after re-introducing the larger alloy Offsets 12 months ago DMM were inundated with requests to start manufacturing the smaller brass offsets. Their popularity is because their unique shape allows climbers to protect pitches that are otherwise not viable.
DMM had to completely rethink the manufacturing process whilst also maintaining the original design specification. The units are are manufactured from a very specific quality of 'brass' that is silver soldered onto stainless steel wire.
Every unit is proof loaded to 75% of its rated strength.
The wires benefit from a colour coded alloy swage that is only dinked on one side i.e. one wire runs free so that the head is always loaded optimally. The colour coded swage helps with selecting the right size first time.
IMP's (Immaculate Marginal Protection) are 'brass' micro wires that have a regular taper. They are the ideal basis for any experienced leader's rack of micro gear.
The heads are machined on a new 9 axis CNC from a copper alloy that has very specific properties and a carefully controlled hardness; when developing these nuts DMM gradually honed in on an alloy and a hardness that allowed both good bite and also a good resistance to shear forces - this way the nuts lock into the rock well and also resist being pulled through the placement.
The heads are then silver soldered onto stainless steel wire and every unit is proof loaded to 75% of its rated strength.
DMM have developed and built a custom, induction heated silver soldering system that allows us to accurately control the amount of heat applied to each unit during the soldering process - an essential step in ensuring consistency in the final product.

DMM TORQUE NUTS
Torque nuts are DMM's solution to large passive protection. As the name suggests, these cunningly sized and shaped nuts work well in standard placements but also have and efficient camming system. Just four sizes cover a very large size range. The colour-coded double dyneema sling is protected on the top by a large countersunk groove. This unique refinement makes racking the units much easier and allows you to climb less encumbered.
DMM DRAGON CAMS
The cams use a single stem with hot forged cams mounted on a dual axle. DMM have kept Ray Jardines original 13.75° constant camming angle that maximises holding power without compromising range. DMM have also kept the extendable, double dyneema sling that saves on quickdraws and reduces the weight of your rack even further. These are the fundamentals around which Dragons are designed.
FEATURES:
Hot forged cams that combine lightness with strength.
Twin axle design for extended expansion range and smooth action.
Constant 13.75° camming angle.
Extendable 8mm dyneema sling.
Strong springs help create a stable placement that resists walking.
Moulded ergonomic trigger bar.
Replaceable trigger wire system.
Colour coded for easy size recognition.
Anodised cams for corrosion prevention.

Light, lithe and very, very popular this is the model that took the Vision concept one step forward and for 2010 a stunning new colourway gives this bestselling adjustable Wild Country harness, a welcome makeover, adding to its visual appeal.
The new Vision 2 is a great looking and supremely functional harness.
The Vision 2 keeps all the great features which made it such a success: a great fit, plenty of gear loops and high strength, safety add ons. Crossing seasons and disciplines with ease the binding loaded construction keeps weight down while the three Ziplock buckle design is safe and super adjustable.

Therefore, with the addition of superb new Ziplock leg loop buckles, Wild Country have added the versatility needed for winter, alpine or just rubbish summer weather. Clean, light and unobtrusive they perfectly complement the redesigned leg loops to give this harness all-round appeal for those who need to go that bit further.
Another plus point is the wide adjustment available on the cleverly designed waist belt - with around 12-15cm movement on each size there is plenty of room for layer changes - or even a kilo or two gained or lost!
In sharp, modern materials, with great new safety features and a stylish finish the Vision 2 Ziplock Mens gives you a simple subtle and effective package at a suprisingly great price and is designed to go the distance in summer and winter, whether starting off, or in it for the long haul.

It comes with fixed, elasticated legs with enough ‘give’ to fit most shapes and sizes.and the belt has our ‘batwing’ shape to hug in the right places.

And the question does arise, if you are not going out in winter why carry the extra weight and pay extra for leg loop buckles you're not going to use? Similarly, if you're looking for a sports harness why add to your burden? With fixed leg loops for simplicity, but elasticated for a bit of give or growth, and our Ziplock buckle on the waist for the safest slickest fastening - even with a loaded belt.
This trimmed down model sports fixed leg loops for simplicity and is finished with a host of high quality cool features to make it another Wild Country winner. and is a great all rounder for trad sport or walls, beginner or expert! Back to Top of Page
