Black Diamond FlickLock Expedition Poles - 1 Pair

WEAK poles

By Ranked #794 - Telemark Skiing May 7, 2008

Broke the second day I was using them, between the two flick locks. The metal snapped when I was skiing and made a hard pole plant. The locks work very well and didn't budge, but the poles themselves are weak. That was especially awesome since I was headed into the Darwin Canyon backcountry the next day.
