Sweet & Flexy

I love these poles! I broke my Black Diamond Aluminun FlickLock pole doing a knarly turn in a steep mogul field early in the day and was able to hammer the aluminum pole back into the upper section to ski the rest of the day. It took a complete day to get use to the flex of the carbon poles,I had some problems with the flex when trying to release my boots, but I've adapted. The Flicklocks are solid, the poles are light and handle well at the resorts or in the backcountry. They're so sweet!!!
