Why We Like The Trail Back Trekking Poles
We give our joints a little relief with the Black Diamond Trail Back Trekking Poles. The three-section design and reliable FlickLock extension system means we can pack them down and throw them on the pack when we need our hands free during those steep, scrambly sections of trail. We like that the molded rubber grips have a soft EVA foam extension so we can choke up on them when we're side-hilling.

These work great
These have held up well, through the Grand Canyon, several ultra runs, and plenty of casual hikes. Comfortable and durable, what more can you ask for?

Tough and durable
These poles helped me into the crater of Mt. St. Helen's. They are tough and durable. I'll have to replace the mud baskets due to the harsh terrain but other than that they did an awesome job.

I'm a huge fan of
I'm a huge fan of these trekking poles! I purchased them for a multi-day trek on the Alta Via Uno in the Dolomites and hiked across all types of terrain, from dirt to rock to creek to snow, and these poles provided great stability. Plus, they are solidly built so no "pinging" sounds as you pole plant, which I really appreciate!

Perfect weight
Nicely weighted and compact. Rides on my backpack easily and available when I need them for the downhills.

Wonderful!
I love way these poles feel in my hands. The flip clip is also so easy to work with! They clip tightness is also adjustable if you feel like they're too hard or easy to clasp in, which is really handy for me. 10/10 recommend!

Trekking poles
High quality trekking poles for a good price. I hike frequently and have beat my previous pair into oblivion (after 6+ years!) and treated myself to a new pair. Fingers crossed they hold up as well as my last pair.

I used these Black Diamond trekking poles on my entire AT thru hike. They were perfect. Just bought another pair for my upcoming CDT thru hike.
