> (In reply to ryanconroy) Does anyone know why military would buy say ice axes in 'tactical colours? Abseiling equipment and krabs - absolutely. I'm sure many police forces would buy them as well as military. But ice tools or cams?
The SAS, SBS, Royal Marines and a few other odds and sods have 'Mountain Troops' trained to lead their counterparts through that sort of terrain. Hence why British Forces spend so much time in Norway.
Having said that, most think its a tad farcical, if you're close enough to see the colour of a cam at night, then you'd probably be able to hear them anyway.

You are a sad sad Walter Mitty of a man
And Dauphin is right, using it for practical everyday use is a nightmare because you cant find anything, and everything is the same colour! I can't believe they've got the cheek to sell it at a higher price, lol.
