Zipfy

 

Zipfy is a uniquely designed rugged plastic snow sled with a distinctive lever used for stability and turning. Easy to Control Speed & Stop Quickly Carves Slalom Turns Down the Hill Easy to Carry Uphill For All Ages (250 lb. capacity) Safe Feet-First Design High density plastic with UV protection. Race decals and anti-skid vinyl seat.

 

It may be little more than a piece of molded plastic, but, boy, does the Zipfy Mini Luge roll down those hills. On a recent test of the sled on some pretty hardcore powder, Zipfy brought back waves of snow-day nostalgia—and hints of amateur Olympic prowess.

 

ZIPFY Freestyle Mini Luge

The handle works like a joystick, allowing for relatively easy turns—not that that’s saying much, considering how difficult it is to steer most sleds. But the real thrill comes when you realize how frighteningly fast the luge is. Thankfully, its low center of gravity (your posterior rides barely above the ground) keeps you from ever feeling like you’re in too much danger. And because it’s much smaller and lighter than your grandfather’s toboggan (it’s made of lightweight, high-density polyethylene and weighs in at just 3.5 pounds), Zipfy’s winter wonder gadget is a cinch to carry around for a full day on the hills, whether you’re young or old.

 

Zipfy Freestyle Lightweight Mini Sled is the new winter sport. Light,compact, and fast. Made of high density plastic. The underbelly rail design is engineered for performance, safety and maneuverability.
