Hammerhead Pro XLD Snow Sled

Hammerhead Pro XLD Snow Sled Review



Hammerhead Pro XLD Snow Sled Feature

  • High-performance snow sled with ergonomically designed, lightweight aluminum chassis
  • Precise G-Steering mechanism lets you make minute adjustments on the fly
  • Pro carving skis absorb shock and help the sled flow over bumps and depressions
  • Technical mesh fabric suspension system is comfortable and supportive
  • Includes ski clips and Velcro carrying straps; recommended for ages 12 and up
A re-invention of the classic Flexible Flyer sled, the Hammerhead Pro XLD blends the mood and imagination of bygone eras with modern technology, functionality, and styling. The Pro XLD sports an ergonomically designed chassis that feels like an extension of your body, almost as though your torso is gliding directly along the snow (but warmer). The result is Ferrari-class handling and Cadillac-class comfort, even on the most challenging winter surfaces. The precision-engineered aluminum frame, interchangeable polycarbonate skis, and revolutionary suspension fabric seating, meanwhile, are designed to accommodate everything from rugged terrain to novice pilots. You can even use the Pro XLD at ski areas thanks to the precise G-Steering mechanism and ultra-high performance pro carving skis, which let you make minute adjustments on the fly. As a result, you can rip turns at lightning speed, executive cool freestyle moves, and handle any bumps, jumps, and ruts while maintaining total control.



The Pro XLD sled includes a precision-engineered aluminum frame and revolutionary suspension fabric seating.
The Pro XLD's pro carving skis are made of virgin high-density polyethylene, and include a strake design that allows the ski to track well on harder pack but float well when the snow gets deeper. Riders will also love the lightweight, durable Airtastic fabric used in the seat. It's the same technical fabric used in sports car seats and high-end office chairs, with a design that's temperature-resistant down to -40 degrees F. The seat's ergonomic design and patented load-bearing assembly combine to create a built-in suspension system that's comfortable and supportive. Finally, the sled comes with both ski clips and Velcro carrying straps. Made of UV-stabilized, glass-filled impact-modified nylon, the ski clips are designed to lock the rear skis to the frame during hard cornering. The Velcro carrying straps, meanwhile, make it easy to haul the sled uphill.

In addition, the Pro XLD supports several other accessories (sold separately), including headlights and taillights for riding at night, alternate bullet or general skis for the bottom (the sled comes with carving skis), a safety leash, a tow line, a cargo net, and a carrying bag.

About Hammerhead Sleds
Hammerhead Sleds was founded in 2002 with the goal of re-creating the excitement evoked by sledding a century ago, when the Flexible Flyer was first marketed. To attract new sledders and re-connect with old ones, the company took the challenge of bringing an ancient technology up to date using new-age materials, manufacturing techniques, and user experiences. After numerous trashed prototypes, multiple patent applications, and intense industrial design work, Hammerhead unveiled the Hammerhead Pro, the radical new gravity snow sled. At home in both the backyard and the ski slope, the Hammerhead Pro looked and performed nothing like the sleds of the past, with attractive and comfortable ergonomic mesh seating, a lightweight aluminum frame, a hair-trigger control system, and deep powder carving skis. The company's long-range plan is to bring sledding to the forefront of modern winter sports, with such sponsored activities as team riders and events, slope side venues, and sled races. Hammerhead Sleds is a private company based in Vermont.

Measures 23 x 9 x 51 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 9.7 pounds; 1-year warranty

Ice Meister Slicer All-Season Sled (Blue)

Ice Meister Slicer All-Season Sled (Blue) Review



Ice Meister Slicer All-Season Sled (Blue) Feature

  • All-season sled designed for both snow and grass sledding
  • Smooth, contoured shape and low-profile runners work on packed snow and powder
  • Includes pair of patent-pending Icers, which create thin ice surface on sled bottom
  • Double-walled, unibody design cushions riders up to 200 pounds
  • Measures 38 x 6.3 x 20.3 inches (W x H x D); weighs 10.7 pounds
Everyone agrees that snow sledding is a blast, but unfortunately the snow never lasts as long as it should. Enter the Ice Meister Slicer all-season sled, which works on both snow and grass. The Slicer's smooth, contoured shape and low-profile runners allow it to perform well on both packed snow and in deep powder. But by attaching a thin ice surface--made from the included patent-pending Icers--to the bottom of the Slicer, you'll readily convert the sled from a winter-only model to one that can be used on the grass in summer months.

The Slicer owes its grass sledding performance to its hollow, double-walled construction, which includes two patent-pending, removable Icer assemblies. Each Icer acts like a large ice-cube tray. Just fill the trays with water, freeze them for 24 hours, and attach the resulting ice blocks to the bottom of the Slicer between the sled runners. When outdoor temperatures are above freezing, the melting ice creates an extremely slippery surface, providing winter sledding fun in the summertime. The Slicer opens up a world of sledding opportunities, from hilly parks to golf courses.

Just as importantly, the Slicer doesn't take a backseat to other sleds when used on snow, with a double-walled, unibody design that absorbs bumps while cushioning riders weighing up to 200 pounds. Made of high-density polyethylene, the Slicer measures 38 by 6.3 by 20.3 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 10.7 pounds.
