Perfect Backcountry Pole

By Ranked #252 - Backcountry Ski Poles April 7, 2010

Don't buy these for your everyday, resort skiing poles. They will not handle that type of abuse as I found out the hard way (fortunately I replaced them with a second pair). I use my composite poles for the inbounds terrain and save the BD's for my backcountry trips.

For the backcountry, these poles are awesome. Very comfortable grip and strap, very sharp tip, and wide basket. The adjustment is very easy and reliable.

I bought them because they were the cheapest option and they have met my expectations.

Replacement parts from BD are very reasonable, as I and my friends have found.
