What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These are the kind of poles I grab when I just want something light, sturdy, and straightforward. The aluminum shaft holds up to aggressive skiing, and the grip feels natural, even with gloves on. I don’t have to think about them—they just work every lap."From crisp corduroy mornings to soft spring bumps, we count on the Rossignol Tactic ski poles to keep things simple and solid. Rossignol builds these with a durable aluminum shaft that feels light in hand yet withstands repeated lift-line drops and hard-charging runs. The ergonomic bi-material grip and adjustable strap give us a secure hold on every pole plant, while the steel tip and alpine basket combo bite into firm snow or soft patches with equal confidence. For those of us who prefer straightforward gear that won’t distract from the descent, the Tactic delivers season after season.
