Black Diamond Trail Trekking Pole

Item #BLD1388 | 95 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Handles a bit large

By Ranked #308 - Trekking Poles January 6, 2010

I have a pair of BD trekking poles and my wife liked using them so I thought I'd get her a pair of her own. These were fine - except: the handles were larger diameter than my previous poles and the padding on the straps added to the diameter. (This is assuming you're using the straps correctly and not just sticking your hands through them.) This made quite a wad for my wife's small hands. Otherwise the poles are fine.
