Black Diamond Trail Shock Trekking Pole

Item #BLD1393 | 45 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great support

By Ranked #133 - Trekking Poles July 27, 2011

I've hike a lot, both in the Appalachians, and in the Tetons and these poles have lasted. They are so easy with the flik-lok, I'm not that tall (5'9") and I like to have them set to about 120cm, so they are just right. They support my weight while hiking and on the descent and are my first set, and have made such a difference. I used to look down on trek pole users, but after using these extensively, I am a believer. They compact well, and standard BD powder baskets allow them to work great in snow. My buddy tells me that you can ski with them, though I have not done it yet.
