The light Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles provide support, stability and effortless swing with 3 vibration-absorbing carbon fiber sections and natural cork grips.

3 sections of carbon fiber create lightweight poles that absorb vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range
Double FlickLock adjusters allow easy, slip-proof adjustment and won't accidentally loosen like conventional "twist" type adjusters
Natural cork grips with dual-density top knobs fit comfortably in your hands
Adjustable nubuck leather webbing wrist loops support wrists
Foam extensions beneath the top grips allow the hiker to drop the uphill hand lower on the shaft while traversing steep terrain
Poles feature interchangeable carbide tips and low-profile trekking baskets; baskets' small size reduces weight and snagging
The Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles include powder baskets for use in the snow

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Imported.

Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles - Pair:

First Impression: Let's face it. It's the price tag. They're up there in price, no doubt. It's why it took me as long as it did to pick up a pair of these. They are expensive, and that's a big turnoff.

Second Imprssion, and every impression thereafter: Like the title says, you get what you pay for. Pay a premium price, get a premium product.

This is one solid set of trekking poles. Everything is built like a tank on these things, and they weigh next to nothing. The cork grips are great, and I'm really glad they went with the extra lower grip as well. The lever lock is the only thing I'll use nowadays. It works, it holds, it's never failed me. The flex and shock absorption is incredible as well. I can lean on these bad boys as hard as I want, and while they may bend a bit, they don't break.

And the reason I actually purchased this particular set of poles is the absence of vibration on impact with the ground. None. It's a solid plant, no shaking, no flexing. Even for a big guy like me.

This set of poles comes highly recommended from me, without any reservations.
