Simple, elegant, and functional. The Black Crows Duos Freebird poles are a reliable companion in the mountains, whether you're slashing through deep powder or navigating tight and technical skin tracks. The thick 7075 aluminum upper tube provides durability for the toughest terrain while the stiff carbon lowers reduce swing weight and provide excellent power transmission. On long days, the ergonomic wrist straps will keep your hands supported on the flat sections while the long EVA grips are comfortable for steep skin tracks and can be plunged into the snow while booting up couloirs. Because they're adjustable, you can have the benefits of a longer pole on the approach and can snug them down easily when its time to ski. With its intelligent and thoughtful combination of features, the Duos Freebird poles are sure to please just about anyone.

  • 7075 aluminum top tube paired with a composite lower tube finds a compelling mix of durability and weight savings.
  • 38cm EVA foam grip is comfortable and convenient for adjusting your grip on long sidehills and off-camber skin tracks.
  • Flexible 90mm baskets hold you up in powder and adapt to variable terrain.
  • Single adjustment point allows you to find your ideal length for the ascent and descent.

I purchased the Black Crows Duos Freebird ski poles a couple of months ago. I’ve used them a handful of times when one of the carbon shafts on one of the poles completely snapped while I was skinning uphill. I was not doing anything extraordinary. I’ve never crashed with them. I was just poling the snow. Black Crows would not warranty this item because they stated the carbon part is not covered under warranty. Their warranty is basically a fraud. Their motto on the website for these poles says, “do not use for barbecue.” I’d argue that barbecuing is the only appropriate activity for these poles. I would highly not recommend buying these fragile and overpriced poles. Just get the Dynafits like everyone else.

Hi Joshua, I do not see a purchase from you to verify your warranty status. For carbon poles in general, the number one reason for mysterious breakages is having previously used the pole to knock snow off your skis, with blunt force strikes against hardened steel edges. Carbon fiber is notoriously weak to such impacts against the grain.

While I like these poles, I have a couple of issues. First, the smooth taper at the end makes dropping them easier when skinning if the basket catches in the snow. I make a custom end piece that has an edge to it that solves the issue (see below). Second, the plastic of the baskets is shit. I can't get a whole season from them without them breaking. Getting replacements is an ordeal. They are a very particular size.

I've been telling skimo co for years that the Black Crows poles are better in every way than the *other* french poles with the long grips, happy that they are finally stocking them. They are stronger, the grips don't ice up as badly, the top caps are metal and they include wrist straps.

Hi Ben, I appreciate you keeping us on it! And also making sure we don't buy too many heavy skis from them...
