These are the traveler’s choice, designed with three sections and two FlickLocks for maximum packability. Expedition Poles compress down to a stealthy 57 or 62 cm to fit inside duffel bags, ski packs and European rental cars. Other features include ergonomic, dual-density grips, variable-width wrist straps and ¾ Baskets with a toothy front edge for climbing.

With a tradition of reliable performance, Traverse Poles are a backcountry standby. The FlickLock mechanism provides 60 cm of adjustability so you can quickly match the height of your poles to the terrain and conditions. Dual-density grips combine soft, ergonomic shaping with a supportive structure to ensure excellent grip and daylong comfort. Equipped with BD ¾ Baskets.

Equally adept on snow, dirt and rock, the new Contour Elliptic is a strong, versatile, high-mileage pole built for comfortable and secure navigation across variable terrain. Thanks to its elliptic shaft, the pole has twice the fore and aft stiffness of round-shafted poles. For increased comfort, the Contour Elliptic features a 15-degree corrective angle, 360-degree padded webbing, and ergonomic ovalized foam grip. The pole’s dual FlickLock® adjustment is efficient and simple to operate even with gloves on…?in the dark…?in a rainstorm…?with 40-mph wind gusts. On the business end, the pole comes outfitted with Long Flex Tips and easy-to-swap-out trekking and powder baskets for year-round hiking versatility.

The Powder Baskets feature a 100 mm diameter surface for powder with an inner ring of teeth for bite on firm snow.
