"Super Strong, Super Lightweight, and Made for Four-Season Poles"

The title sums up these awesome trekking poles. I've used these on a few steep 4000'+ gain ascents, so far they have held up great. The extension cam-locks are the best locking system on the market and you don't have to worry about putting all your weight on these while ascending or descending from the summit. These are my second pair of Black Diamond poles, I have another set for alpine skiing and enjoy the quality materials and workmanship they employ in their products. The wrist support latch is good for warm weather, very breathable. However uncomfortable compare to others on the market which is way I gave a four out of five. Nearly the best four season trekking pole you can purchase, expect these Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles to last several hundred miles of trekking.Enjoy your climb!

Ultra light and incredibly strong. The cork grip is more comfortable than any other pole ive ever handled. The foam "choke-up" section is perfectly placed for those tough ascents. The nubuck strap is just right. the strap is perfectly sized. the rounded top is great for palming the poles when descending and has just the right amount of grip for when your pole is inverted for use with a tarp like shelter. They do come with wider snow baskets but do not come with rubber tips. i do recommend shelling out the extra $5 for the rubber tips. this will prolong the life of the replaceable carbide alloy tips for when you really need them. I love them. So will you!
