World-record-holding mountaineer Tyler Andrews relies on the Wahl® Self-Clip 360™ to stay sharp—mentally and physically—17,600 feet above sea level.
STERLING, Ill., July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — When preparing for the grueling physical and mental demands of Mount Everest, elite athlete Tyler Andrews brings all the essentials: gear, grit—and a hair clipper. Andrews, a world-record-holding high-altitude runner, recently added the Wahl® Self-Clip 360™ to his pack for his latest Everest expedition, citing self-care as a critical piece of survival and performance.
“When living in extreme conditions, like Everest Base Camp, something that seems like a luxury is actually essential,” explained Andrews. “For example, the simple act of grooming can have a huge impact on your comfort and safety.”
According to Andrews, he spent weeks at base camp acclimating to the altitude and during that time his hair grew fast. “A small discomfort like long hair can become big a problem; it gets caught in my helmet and glasses, it collects sweat that freezes and becomes a distraction when concentration can mean the difference between life and death.”
When you’re alone at the top of the world, you need tools you can count on; for Andrews, that includes the Wahl® Self-Clip 360™. Designed specifically for self-haircuts, this hair clipper meets the moment, whether that moment happens on a mountain or your own bathroom. Its revolutionary features include:
- SmartCut™ Blade – The completely new blade angle is optimized at 15⁰ to allow for a more natural arm position during self-haircuts, while also maintaining the precision and cutting performance Wahl® is known for.
- Dual Grip 360™ – The dual soft grips are placed strategically for flexibility, comfort, and control. The unique contoured body shape was designed to fit the multiple grips of people who cut their own hair.
- 150-minute run time – Wahl® Lithium-Ion technology provides multiple haircuts on a full charge and will store for months without degradation in run time.
- Snap-N-Lock™ Guards – They stay secure and glide effortlessly through hair while maintaining precise cutting lengths.
