Granite Gear Pulk Sled (2007)
Product Description
Features
Granite Gear’s newest product comes from a very old idea, the pulk sled. “Pulk” comes from a Laplander word, pulkke, meaning traveling sled. Though they've updated the materials from the traditional wood and reindeer hide, the idea is the same—load it up, hook into the harness and pull your winter gear rather than carry it. We’re pretty confident Granite Gear's new 2002 Pulk Sled pulls a bit easier than the earlier versions. The smooth pulling, covered sled and innovative harness system team up to provide a great way of getting your gear up the mountain or deep into the backcountry. With their crossed fiberglass stay system, flexible nylon connecting rods and a “zero play” full body harness Granite Gear's sled pulls and turns like a dream.FEATURES
Large, 15,000 cu. in. capacity
Thermo-molded, high molecular weight hull is lightweight and offers the lowest “coefficient of friction” (drag) on snow of any molded plastic.
Tough, Rex-Twill® cover has three compression straps to compress and secure gear and a full length zipper for access.
The hull’s molded-in ski runners exactly match those of cross-country grooming equipment. The sled tracks well on ski trails and can be used to set tracks.
Lightweight - Sled, cover and harness system = 16.75 lbs.
Strong, fiberglass/nylon poles (53”) break down into sections for easy transport. Pole ends and areas where sections join are made of a strong, flexible nylon. This allows normal hip rotation during turns on skis, helps the sled follow you and reduces the chance of pole breakage.
Quick connect\disconnect hardware makes “hooking up” and unhooking fast and simple.
Brake prevents sled from sliding backward on slopes.
Advanced harness system involves your whole body in pulling the sled. Leg loops, hip belt, shoulder straps and three attachment points to the sled distribute the effort over all major muscle groups.
