LEKI Haute Route SpeedLock Ski Pole
Not for everyone!

Ranked #265 - Backcountry Ski Poles

This pole is fantastic for deep pow-pow in the back-country. Though i would recommend the Black Diamond line over these poles to someone who intends to use them as an all around adjustable ski pole for groomers, powder, ski- mountaineering, etc. The Torque lock system can't take the abuse and not much downward pressure. I went to jab them into some pack on a groomed slope this week to stand them up while i adjusted my boots and it gave...sliding into the main shaft. Good thing i don't ski groomers often! But as far as a free style and powder pole....These baby's get My top Marks! A+++
