A must for anyone touring the backcountry or mountaineering, these lightweight, high-visibility wands offer an extra measure of safety.

  • Compact and easy to carry, this five-pack of wands weighs in at just 12 ounces
  • Made from reclaimed, recycled and virgin materials, wands are painted bright orange and feature high-visibility orange ribbon streamers
  • Each wand consists of two sections joined by a reflective plastic ferrule; configuration allows customizing of wand length
  • Standard wand length is 64 inches and can be used for route marking in deep snow
  • Wands are also useful for marking points of danger, food caches, rescue sites, ski runs and race courses
  • Because they aren't prone to splintering like bamboo-style wands, they offer long-lasting service
  • Packaged in a reusable plastic storage bag

Made in USA.
