Hansa Ice Claw
Lightweight and easy to use with a narrow, tempered steel tip that grabs even when the ice is hard. The lowered handle puts your hands closer to the ice. When you then angle the claw, you will have considerably more power in your wrists - something you need to have the strength to pull yourself up out of a hole in the ice. Whistle included.

The Hansa Lifeline – Classic lifeline used by the Swedish Police and Rescue Services
Every second counts when an accident happens and a skater has fallen through the ice. An easy-to-handle lifeline that can be accurately thrown even in a headwind is indispensable. The Hansa Lifeline is a strong rescue line whose design makes it easy to throw to someone in trouble and it glides well even on bumpy ice.
As soon as it hits the water, the side with the lockable hand-loop automatically turns upwards. The person in trouble can secure the loop around the wrist and be towed out of the water with no risk of losing grip.

The Hansa Lifeline BÅT (BOAT)
– Built-in rescue harness
Man overboard! When that cry is heard, you have to have a strong lifeline at the ready. The Hansa Lifeline Båt is stored in a light-protective bag that makes it possible to install the lifeline on deck in full sunlight. You can quickly throw out the bag with the 30-meter long line and built-in lift loops and rescue harness. As soon as it hits the water, the rescue line floats with the loop side up. When the person in trouble pulls on the loop, a rescue/lift harness ejects from the bag. The person straps on the harness, tightens it, and can be towed back onboard with the aid loops. The lift loops can also be used with a sailboat’s halyards to tow the person being rescued the last, difficult part of the way.
Fully extended, the Hansa Lifeline BÅT can also be used as a lifesling.

Skyllermarks Balance Poles – Visible in the winter dark
Skyllermarks balance poles are good-looking: deep, rich black with red reflectors and details. More importantly, the sharp, durable tips give you a superb foothold on the ice. You’ll need to thrust often to learn how these super-sharp poles “read” the ice.
Skating with Skyllermarks poles of equal weight allows you to maintain good balance on bumpy ice. When the ice is smooth and you are skating with the poles under your arms, they link easily together with the specially designed grips. The insulation just below the grips on each pole keeps the cold away from your body.
Lengths: 125, 135, 145, and 155 cm
Custom lengths up to 160 cm available by special order

The Hansa Pole
The graduated three-stage tip tells you loud and clear when the ice's load-bearing capacity changes. The bottom section of the tip is angled, making it easy to pierce holes, e.g., to check the thickness of the ice. Floats in water.

Dual Hansa Pole
Patent applied for, effective, and finely balanced ice probe with an extra pole. Use the probe to pierce the ice and get advance warning before it has become too weak, even while skating. Grips with three poling positions plus palm position for efficient poling, e.g., for crossing open channels. And of course the pole floats.
Lengths: 137 cm or 147 cm

The Ice Gauge – Tells you whether the ice will hold
Skyllermarks Ice Gauge was designed to work with the kind of holes poles make in ice. When the pole penetrates the ice, a hole is formed. Its diameter is smallest at the surface of the ice, while underneath, the pole has knocked chips out of the ice, meaning the hole is actually conical.
Skyllermarks Ice Gauge is made of plastic soft enough to be screwed down into a small hole and hard enough to spread out under the ice rim. The Ice Gauge can measure up to 13 cm of ice and is a useful tool for judging the thickness of the ice.
Design protected.

Swift and sure with a sharper glide
The right technique means everything to a successful skating tour. Once your glide has become instinctive, you can help keep yourself on the right track by always keeping your blades sharp. Sharp blades bite best and give you more power on long-distance tours.
Sharpening kit with jig and stone – stay sharp all season long
Once or twice a season, you should have your skates professionally sharpened and set at the right skating curve. Then all you have to do is keep them sharp. The best way to accomplish that is to sharpen your blades after every tour. Secure them to the jig as shown in the picture and draw the stone firmly back and forth until the blade is sharp enough to cut your fingernail when you pass it carefully along the edge of the blade.
Diamond Sharpening Stone – The featherweight that gives you perfect sharpness
Skyllermarks Diamond Stone is light and easy to use. The double-sided stone (coarse/fine) makes it easy to achieve extra fine sharpness without having to push too hard. The Diamond Stone measures 170 mm and weighs only 46 grams. A jig small and light enough to take along is available as an accessory (weight approx. 60 grams).
How do you use the diamond stone?

Extra Side Pocket for the Backpack
Most lifelines will fit into Skyllermarks side pocket. The pocket can be attached to any backpack with a compression strap. Thread the straps through the holes in the pocket in various ways to determine the best position for your lifeline. Once the pocket is attached, insert your lifeline and tighten the pocket opening enough to keep the lifeline inside even when you bend over, but loosely enough so that you can get the lifeline out fast when you need it.
Skyllermarks extra side pocket includes a strap that is fastened to the lifeline at one end and to the waist strap of the backpack at the other. The included hook-and-loop fasteners keep the strap in place while you are skating.
