What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I always recommend the Triad poles for skiers looking for solid performance without the bells and whistles. They’re lightweight, dependable, and the EVA grip feels great even when I’m wearing thinner gloves. For the price, you get way more than expected." We believe great gear doesn’t need to be complicated. The Armada Triad Ski Poles are our favorite value-driven option for all-mountain skiing, delivering straightforward performance without unnecessary extras. Built with lightweight 6061 aluminum, these poles are strong, reliable, and easy to swing, whether we’re cruising groomers or dipping into side hits. The 18mm shaft keeps the feel solid and responsive, while the EVA foam grip gives us a secure, cushioned hold no matter the conditions. A 60mm basket handles most days on the hill, and the steel tip ensures grip and durability when we’re dealing with firm snow or traversing hardpack. The Triad is simple, effective, and always ready to ride.
