Black Diamond Syncro Elliptic Trekking Pole

Item #BLD0317 | 101 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Light and strong

By Ranked #310 - Trekking Poles September 27, 2009

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.
