Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Pole

Product Descriptions

REI Description: The Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles add support, stability and effortless swing to your wilderness forays, with 3 vibration-absorbing carbon fiber sections and natural cork grips. 3 sections of carbon fiber create lightweight poles that absorb vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range. Double FlickLock Pro adjusters allow easy, slip-proof adjustment and won't accidentally loosen like conventional "twist" type adjusters. FlickLock Pro is 20% smaller and 30% easier to open than its predecessor and offers twice the holding force. Natural cork grips with dual-density top knobs fit comfortably in your hands. Adjustable nubuck leather webbing wrist loops support wrists. Foam extensions beneath the top grips allow the hiker to drop the uphill hand lower on the shaft while traversing steep terrain. Poles feature interchangeable carbide tips and low-profile trekking baskets; baskets' small size reduces weight and snagging. The Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles include powder baskets for use in the snow.

Backcountry Description: From sun-drenched deserts to powder-filled backcountry bowls, trust the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Pole for reliable performance every season of the year. The 100% carbon fiber construction keeps the weight to a minimum, and the natural cork grip wicks away moisture for a slip-free hold on steep, exposed terrain.
