Black Diamond Expedition Pro Ski Pole

When touring, everyone is concerned about the ski and boot system, while poles can often be a quiet afterthought. While often neglected, poles are just as important a tool as a pack and your skis. This is especially the case with the Black Diamond Expedition Pro poles, which are packed with features. Starting with the contact points, the straps are easily attached and removed with a simple girth-hitch for those who want to ditch the added weight, and the extended EVA foam grip lets you adjust your grip for those dreaded icy sidehills. The top of the pole also features a tactile rubber beak for flipping heel risers on the fly and on the opposing side, a straight edge to scrape off glopping snow from your top sheets. Constructed with a full carbon fiber upper and lower, these poles are lightweight and stand up to abuse without bending. Available in two size ranges, 100cm-140cm and 105-155cm, you have options for different lengths on the ups and the downs. You might even be kind enough to let your friends borrow them! But wait, that's not all! These poles have one more trick up their sleeves. The upper shafts have a PH3 screwdriver and a 1.5mm hex bit integrated into the shaft, so they double as a toolbox if you need to perform any repairs on the fly. For a versatile, general touring pole with unique features, the Expedition Pro pole will carry you along many skin tracks and for even more pow turns.
