Spectra tough
Made from 6mm Spectra rope or 8mm double-braid polyester, our Land Ice Traces are light, strong, minimalist and functional.
Harness connection
A loop at the harness end is designed to clip into a harness carabiner or into a Download Strain Reducer. The loop is big enough to accommodate a double bend for increased strength and minimal friction.
Sled connection
The ends of the sled loop are knotted to connect to the sled using a Larks Head knot in the tow loops.
