Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles (Pair)

Product Highlights

New for 2009! With extended length natural cork grips, innovative locking mechanisms, and three adjustable carbon fiber shaft sections, Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles offer ultra-lightweight performance for all-weather adventure.

Far easier to adjust than the internal locking mechanisms used by many telescoping poles, the external locks found on Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles are ideal for use in all conditions and seasons. Black Diamond's FlickLock system couldn't be much simpler. Even if you're wearing gloves, it's a cinch to open the lock with a flip of your finger, slide the pole section to the required length and tap the lock back into place. Once you've used FlickLocks, you'll wonder why anyone would ever choose to wrestle with temperamental internal mechanisms.

Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles employ extended length grips for maximum usability. Cork construction on the upper portion of the handles provides natural texture for a confident grasp and by extending far down the poles, the grips allow you to adjust where you situate your hands without having to shorten or extend the poles each time you encounter a steep slope. Padded, adjustable webbing straps help to reduce stress on your wrists.

Sold in pairs, Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles offer a usable adjustment range of 25"-51" and together weigh just 16 ounces. Press-fit carbide Long Flex Tips work in tandem with low-profile trekking baskets to provide optimal backcountry traction. Adding versatility, Black Diamond Powder Baskets are also included to equip the poles for use in snow.
