Wearable Sled Legs

Posted on by

Well, winter is coming to an end in most parts of the northern hemisphere. But there’s still a little bit left, and some of the more motivated among you might want to squeeze every last drop out of it. These Wearable Sled Legs look like a ton of fun, turning your shins and knees into a sliding surface so you can tear those mountains up in a completely novel way. It’s being billed as a hybrid between skis and sleds, is meant for riders 5 feet and up, and can handle up to 250bls. They’re padded on the inside, so you won’t have to worry about hurting anything, except maybe if you slide right into a tree or something. We’re sure these aren’t a new product, but we bet at least some of you have never seen them. They’re $60.

Sled Legs Turn Your Legs into Sleds

Sledding down hills is fun in the winter time, but lugging a sled around snow-covered hills is not a fun chore. Well, there is an answer to that age old problem now. Sled Legs!

Now you can wear your sleds on your legs, which seems like a simple but brilliant idea. Each Sled Leg is an ABS shell that is contoured to direct the flow of snow. They have a foam layer inside to cushion them around your legs for comfort too. Just attach them to your legs with the adjustable straps, and hit the slopes.

The inventors want to sell them for about $140 when they eventually hit retail.

Snolo Stealth-X Brings Funky Carbon Fiber Design To Sleds

Posted on by

The wintertime is coming… it bears repeating it if only because it gives us a simple intro to segue onto the product above. It’s a sled called Snolo Stealth-X, and is ostensibly made from carbon fiber. That makes it light, probably very stiff and we assume pretty freaking awesome at getting you from the top to the bottom of a snow-covered hill. It’s so light apparently, that you can pack it up and carry it in a backpack.

We’re short of details, aside from being able to tell you that their full website will launch in 37 days, and the sled itself will reportedly cost around $3,000 when it does become available. What? You didn’t think it’d be affordable, did you? It’s also reportedly being made by a team in New Zealand after 6 years of testing and prototyping.

And while the above picture does look like a render, the ones after the jump, not so much.
