Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

The Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles are designed to aid your cross-country travel for all seasons. It doesn't matter if you're snowshoeing in the winter or hiking in the summer, this three-section pole from Black Diamond takes on any terrain. The Trail Trekking Poles use the FlickLock system for easy adjustment even with gloves on. When you're traversing on a hill, the extended foam grip provides extra room on the shaft to hang onto.

Bottom Line: Snow, sand, mud, or dirt, the Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles are ready.

what is the difference between standard and compact. I would like something that folds up compactly and yet opens to a sturdy lightweight stick.

I think that the compact poles fold up smaller, but also don't extend as far, so they work well for people who aren't too tall- under 5'8 is what I usually see listed.

Tweak This Flag

I'm Jealous

By: Joe Longo (1)
October 21, 2006

I've owned a pair of trekking poles for a few years and have loved them. My wife has been a skeptic and thought I was exaggerating what a difference they made. After a vacation to Utah where we traipsed all over Bryce, Zion, and the Canyonlands, she was willing to give them a try. After a little research I selected these for her and found a great price at this site. We can't get over how light they are and I'm jealous of the flip lock design (vs. my old "twist & slip" poles) and will be asking Santa to upgrade my set for Christmas. My wife, no longer a skeptic, wonders why I didn't do more to convince her earlier .
