Black Diamond Trail Shock Trekking Pole

Item #BLD1393 | 45 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Knee savers!

By Ranked #104 - Trekking Poles October 7, 2011

These are fantastic...great support for those of us that have knee issues. Especially on the descent. Flik-loks are absolutely effortless....pardon the "cliche" but just "set it and forget it" :D On a recent strenuous 10 miler, several times on the descent I thought I had broke the poles in half getting them stuck in crevasses, rocks or roots. Everytime I would look back at the stuck pole it was just that...."stuck" but no damage to tips, baskets or the pole. Heck, the flik-loks even held. Very sturdy and well made. Great job BD!
