Black Diamond Trail Back Trekking Pole

knee saviors

By Ranked #37 - Snowshoes September 16, 2008

I have bad knees and these trekking poles are literal saviors of my knees. I have done 3 major hikes this year and one backpacking trip up Bells Canyon in Utah and that puppy is super steep. The poles helped on the trail up to and were amazing coming down. Also the carbide tip is really tough as we spent a lot of time scaling bare granite boulder fields they held up marvelously compared to the cheaper wal-mart version a buddy of mine bought. I bought my father-in-law a pair for his backpack trip in the Wind Rivers Wyoming and he swears by them now too. The FlipLock pole extension system is amazing too - way easier than the standard twist versions. HIGHLY recommend!
