What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I love how easy these poles are to adjust on the fly—especially when I’m skinning uphill or bootpacking steep sections. The lightweight build with Kevlar reinforcement gives me the confidence to lean on them in sketchy terrain, and the S3 Premium grip and straps are super comfortable for long days out."We know that in the backcountry, every gram counts and every move matters. That’s why we count on the Steep Pro Vario S3 Ski Poles to keep us steady and adaptable. With an intuitive Easylock system and rugged Kevlar reinforcement, these poles transition seamlessly from long approaches to technical climbs. The S3 Dual material grips and premium straps let us find the perfect hold no matter the slope angle, while the carbide/widia tips and interchangeable baskets ensure we’re ready for variable snow conditions. For us, they’re more than poles—they’re partners for every mission beyond the ropes.
