Dynafit Blacklight Pro Pole
The Blacklight Pro Pole is a great addition for any skier who wants a lightweight, reliable pole. Featuring a longer grip zone to allow for easy movement on sidehills and in the steeps, vertical gain is the name of the game for this fast and light accessory piece. More good news; lightweight doesn't mean light on durability. These poles are made of some of the strongest materials on the market. The Kevlar carbon lower shaft ensures damage resistance from your ski edges and the carbon upper shaft shaves grams but adds stiffness and reliability. The Blacklight Pro Pole is a true touring pole made for adventurers and racers alike.
- Kevlar carbon lower shaft increases durability and protects your equipment from sharp ski edges.
- Carbon upper shaft is a major part of the low weight design.
- Fixed pole lengths range from 110-140cm in 5cm increments.
- Extremely lightweight and stiff makes it race-ready, or all-day adventure-ready.
- Extended grip length accommodates individual preferences in varied terrain.
Update 2022/23: New graphics and a white basket for those that prefer a more stealth mode in a snowy landscape.

Questions & Reviews
Hard to expect much from such a simple pole but there are still things I would change if I could. Firstly, the option to swap the baskets for a directional race style basket would be appreciated, but it's only designed for round free-spinning baskets. Secondly - the hook at the top of the grip is a cool idea but I never use it - I find it much easier to use my baskets to flip my heel risers, and my fingers to flip my toe levers. Thirdly (and this is why I only give it 4 stars) is that the extended foam grip is kind of useless. I run these extra long and have to choke down frequently for side-hills and for downhill. The foam is dense and narrow, and only marginally better than just grabbing straight carbon. It needs at least 1 big ridge/knurl somewhere to keep your hand from slipping down the shaft - especially with thicker gloves. I've been tinkering aftermarket modifications to help with this.
For sizing purposes, I'm 5'11" and the 135cm is perfect.
