Who would love these
These poles are perfect for backcountry skiers who value comfort and adaptability. If you're someone who spends long days touring and needs reliable gear that can handle various conditions, these are for you. They're also great for skiers who appreciate quick adjustments and a secure grip, especially when navigating tricky terrain. While they might be more than you need for casual resort skiing, their features shine in the backcountry, making them a worthy investment for dedicated adventurers.
Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles are a game-changer for backcountry enthusiasts. I love how the dual-density foam grip reduces hand fatigue, making long tours more comfortable. The FlickLock® adjustability is a lifesaver, allowing me to quickly adjust the pole length on the fly. Plus, the adjustable wrist straps are a thoughtful touch, ensuring a snug fit whether I'm wearing gloves or not. While they might be overkill for resort skiing, their durability and versatility make them a must-have for any serious backcountry skier. The only downside? They might be a bit pricier than basic poles, but the features are worth every penny!
The Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles offer comfort and versatility to backcountry skiers who are looking for a pair of reliable ski touring poles. These poles feature a dual density foam grip for comfort and reduced hand fatigue. The wrist straps are also adjustable with a ladder lock buckle for a secure fit. And the shaft of the poles feature FlickLock® Adjustability to allow the poles to collapse quickly when not in use and extend quickly when ready to ski. The Traverse Poles also come with powder baskets but can accomodate 3/4 baskets.
