Product Descriptions
Backcountry Description: Youre touring in fresh powder on an off-track trail and you want to grab a quick bite to eat out of your pack. Instead of wrestling your glove out of the ski-pole strap and then back in again, you can use the Swix Elite Ski Poles quick-click mechanism to detach the strap from the pole and re-attach it. The soft Pro Fit strap supports your hand and wrist while you glide along. This Swix poles Tour Baskets large asymmetrical shape works well for off-piste touring and handles groomed trails as well.
Retailer Reviews
Worth the extra money
I bought the Swix Elite poles because I live in the pacific northwest and spend as much time in the backcountry as I do on groomed trails. (My dog loves snow and unfortunately dogs aren't allowed on groomed trails.) I'm also a heavier set guy when it comes to cross-country. Collapsible poles just don't cut it when you're trying to push off or right yourself. (They collapse.) Cheaper poles sometimes snap in half - or the plastic grips and wrist strap just becomes uncomfortable by the end of the day. The grips on these is awesome! And the innovative new wrist straps are super comfy and disconnect with a push of a button on top of the grip. I don't have to fuss with the straps - just tighten them once and then you can pop the poles on and off at will. Overall the poles are super light and as far as I can tell pretty strong. I'll update you if I manage to break them.
Straps too small...
The straps on these come really small. I usually wear a size small/medium glove and these straps are tough to get into. Maybe Swix has fixed this from last year, but I would steer clear of these if you hands are fairly large or you like to wear bulky mittens
