Intro

For traditional and sophisticated touring, this is a well-balanced two-piece, carbon-fiber pole, with sections of 16 and 14 millimeters in diameter. The grip is shaped just enough to give you control, but not so much that it gets in the way of poling, and the elongated grip area works well. It has a traditional, neoprene wrist strap with padding and a safety release. The pressure of the aluminum locking mechanism can be adjusted and gives you a good ski feel under standard touring conditions.
