Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles: Light, functional, compact
The Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles are designed primarily for backcountry skiing but are versatile enough for year-round adventures. They are available in both two-piece and three-piece telescoping versions, made predominantly from aluminum, which balances durability and weight. The poles feature a reliable FlickLock adjustability system, allowing for quick and secure length changes even with gloves on. Their grips are made from EVA foam or updated foam materials, providing comfort, moisture resistance, and practical features like an extended grip section for uphill climbing.The poles come with large, replaceable powder baskets, and when combined with the wrist straps and versatile grip positions, ensure your stability in uneven terrain. The two-piece construction means they are able to collapse to almost 1/2 their size, making them easy to travel with. Their build quality and robustness make them a durable choice for winter use and summer trekking in challenging conditions. Additional features include carbide tech tips for superior grip on slippery surfaces. The Expedition Ski Poles are sturdy, versatile and prioritize function and durability while still being fairly lightweight.
