What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These poles are my go-to for everything from pre-work laps to multi-day hut trips. The aluminum build is tough enough for rocky bootpacks, and the FlickLock adjustment is quick even with gloves on. They’re simple, dependable, and built for real backcountry use."We count on the Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles for everything from early morning fitness laps to big winter objectives deep in the mountains.
