Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles

Utilizing high-performance carbon fiber shafts, Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles are lightweight, easy-to-adjust, and equipped with tactile cork grips.

Far easier to adjust than the internal locking mechanisms used by many telescoping poles, the sturdy FlickLock Pro external locks found on the upper shaft sections of these poles are ideal for all conditions and seasons. Using them couldn't be much simpler. Even if you're wearing gloves, it's a cinch to open the lock with a flip of your finger, slide the pole section to the required length and tap the lock back into place.

Cork grips serve as contoured, comfortable handholds and additional lengths of foam padding extend far down the upper pole sections allowing you to adjust where you grasp the poles without having to shorten or extend the poles each time you encounter a steep slope or side hill traverse. Padded adjustable webbing straps help to reduce stress on your wrists.

Press-fit Tech Tips have integrated low-profile trekking baskets that provide backcountry traction. These tips come installed with a carbide tip that offers ideal bite on ice and other hard surfaces, but non-scarring rubber tips that won't damage trails or rock are also available (sold separately). You can also equip the poles for winter use by utilizing broader-diameter Powder Baskets (sold separately).

Sold in pairs, Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles offer a usable adjustment range of 24"-51".
