Black Diamond Syncro Elliptic Trekking Pole

Black Diamond gave the Syncro Trekking Poles oval-shaped Elliptic shafts to increase rigidity and provide smooth, fool-proof length adjustments in seconds. Slide the bottom sections of the Synchro Trekking Poles to full length, and the Binary system locks in place with no hassle. The top sections connect with the solid and durable FlickLock attachment that operates smoothly no matter how iced up or dirty it gets. Black Diamond even included angled grips to reduce wrist fatigue and make your hikes more comfortable.

Bottom Line: Black Diamond makes their trekking poles faster, stronger, and more dependable than ever with the Synchro Trekking Poles.

Light and strong

Black Diamond has made huge advances with their trekking poles since my last pair. These are far, far lighter than my old ones, the Flicklock is more secure (though it can still slip when heavily weighted), the pole bends less (thanks to the elliptical design) and the single-length bottom section is ingenious.

If you hate the way screw-locks break and you don't like those damn shock absorbers, buy this pole. You won't regret it.

caution

while these poles worked great for the first few hundred miles or so, after a while the bottom section with the "binary" locks come apart. At first it only happens getting the pole stuck in mud or deep, wet snow - the pulling up motion pulls the pole out of the binary locking device. after a while it gets worse and they'll come out when getting hung up on even the slightest root or rock. this becomes really inconvenient. A friend that i go hiking with has the same poles and suffers from the same problem. He tried gluing the pole back into the locking device, but it eventually works itself loose.
My advice - the black diamond poles with flick lock locking device on both the top and bottom sections is the way to go. i haven't had any problems with the flick lock portion of the pole.
