Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles

Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles description

Created for skiers and riders on a dirtbag budget, the Black Diamond Traverse FlickLock Poles are a high-quality, no-frills option for the backcountry. Like all BD poles, these are made of durable aluminum, sport carbide tips and are equipped with the dependable FlickLock mechanism which makes adjustment a snap (er, flick). The Dual density elastomer grips are good to your hands all day long. The Traverse Flicklock poles are light, compact and can handle any sort of backcountry action. A perfect option for the backcountry traveler who is already packing a probe or doesn't require the massive adjustment range of the Expedition poles.

Bottom Line: You won't find better poles at this price.

The flicklock traverse is an excellent choice for the bc skier on a budget, or the occasional out of bounds seeker. Easy to adjust with gloves on, the flicklock holds without slipping. If one can tolerate the hard plastic grips and dosn't need the exceptional adjustability of the expedition these are for you. A good pole at a reasonable price.

Used to use poles that would telescope for backcountry skiing, but after bending a pole, it could never change. These are so awesome and have the ability to attach a snow saw on the end of the pole for safer cornice cutting. Always remember to rope in though!
