Black Diamond Trail Back Trekking Pole

Item #BLD1384 | 57 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Makes a 5 mile hike feel like 1

By Ranked #86 - Trekking Poles December 20, 2010

Transfer some of the trail work to your upper body. My BD poles have seen at least a hundred miles, if not more, on trails of dirt, snow/ice, rocks, sand and even sidewalk. I have noticed less fatigue on my knees and legs, and as a result of their use I am ready to pound more ground the next day. The grips are comfortable, though the occasional blister may form after extended use. The FlickLocks work quickly and the poles compact to a nice size when not needed. Slap on the included snow baskets and your ready to hit the winter trails. Short or long hikes, these are a must have for any hiker.
