A full ice axe head protector covering both pick and adze during transport and storage, the Axe Protector from Black Diamond uses translucent TPU construction in a stretch-fit design that accommodates most standard ice axe head geometries without requiring measurement or model-specific selection. The translucent material allows tool identification without removing the protector, and the TPU's puncture resistance prevents pick and adze tips from working through the cover and contacting adjacent gear during pack carries and equipment storage. At approximately 40g with translucent TPU covering both the pick and adze, the Axe Protector from Black Diamond is the complete head-protection option for alpinists protecting pack fabric and rope — distinct from the Spike Protector, which shields only the lower spike point of the shaft.
