Dynalock Trail Poles

The MSR Dynalock Trail Poles love winter hikes spent in the backcountry and backyard trails alike. Designed with an aluminum construction to shave weight while still providing rigid strength to carry weight in the backcountry, the poles are the perfect addition to a snowshoe or backcountry ski kit. The length can be adjusted by the DynaLock mechanism on the fly, allowing for quick adjustments when traversing across a hill or moving through deep snow. A steel tip pierces through hardpacked snow and soft powder alike to stay secure and provide support, and ergonomic handles maintain a steady grip when moving through a winter wonderland throughout the day.

Poles slide out and catch knees

The poles are sturdy when fully extended but the dynalock did not keep them in place when in the retracted position. Was pretty disappointed and surprised - high risk of catching the backs of your legs and/or tearing gear when strapped to the back of a pack or when carrying them in the retracted position.

Durable!

Took these on the sea wall trail (meat cove to pleasant bay, Cape Breton) over three and a half days of rugged terrain. They saved my bacon and will be coming on every hike from now on!

Good poles but baskets are hard to change

I like these poles. But when I went to change the baskets to use them in the snow, they were very difficult to get on and off. So hard to put on that I apparently didn’t get one of the baskets on securely and lost a basket snowshoeing. Unfortunately MSR does not appear to sell replacement baskets.

took them to mount whitney

took them to mount whitney to use for the first time and they bent. We were doing the mountaineering route and terrain was intense, but still I was surprised at how poorly they did

Great Poles

Happy with the poles. Thought I could just use ski poles, but I love how these fold down and can slide into a backpack if I want. Also nice to be able to adjust them if someone else wants to borrow them. They are relatively light weight.

Backcountry Poles

I'm very happy with my new poles and was a little surprised for how lite they are.

Nice Poles Lower Portion Loose When Retracted

When the poles are completely retracted, the bottom section slides in and out of the upper section. Quite irritating when transporting- the ends are catching on everything.

I would definitely purchase once again.

The DynaLock poles assisted every step of the way! 43 miles outer loop trail was no match for these poles! Vic
