Why We Like The DynaLock Ascent Carbon Poles

The versatility of our DynaLock Ascent Carbon Poles helps puts them first on our list for family snowshoeing days and splitboard adventures alike. When collapsed, they're shorter than 3 stacked beer cans, making them fit perfectly into smaller packs while adding minimal weight, thanks to their carbon fiber construction.

over complicated

Just received these today. They are sadly very over complicated and have far too many ways to break down. I just wanted simple adjustable poles for hiking. I am turning and pushing the baskets with all my strength and can not get them past the section with raised lines. I guess I will be returning these for some simplified poles without all the unnecessary bells and whistles that will just work.

Fantastic poles. They are very lightweight and balanced. I use them for hiking and snow sports.

A little heavier than my

A little heavier than my previous poles (another brand), but maybe they won't break as easy. The swing is nearly neutral, so the additional weight isn't noticeable. My only concern is the push-button that sets the length, it may create a weak-point in the pole shaft; this is where my previous poles broke.

I have hope!

Super light, packs well, and the cable system is super cool. I continue to struggle with the locking mechanism being tight enough to prevent the poles from collapsing under weight.

Great light packable poles!

I got these poles for splitboarding but I have been using them for hiking. They are the first poles that I’ve loved hiking! They’re very light and they pack up so small I can tuck them into my day bag. I definitely suggest these poles!

light, tight, just right!

The lightest and most adaptable pole I've ever owned and used. The pole is easily lengthen or shortened in quick moment with the greatest of ease.

Awesome!

Bought to replace a set of 20 year old black diamond poles and so glad I did! Super portable, weigh almost nothing, easy to stash anywhere in my pack. Love the easy set up - the little push-in locking button took me a minute to figure out, but is now much preferred and so, so easy. Poles have been sturdy and reliable for extended trail runs, long day hikes in the mountains, river crossings, and backpacking trips. They don’t have as much oomph to them as my old poles, but for half the weight and size I don’t mind a bit. Easy five stars.

Absolutely love these poles. They

Absolutely love these poles. They are light, strong, and lock tight so they don't collapse. Easy to adjust even with heavy gloves. I have taken them on several Adirondack high peaks, many local hikes, and Search And Rescue training. They have held up fantastically.

I think these poles are great. They are very light weight, easily adjustable in terms of length, and very compact for traveling.
