Created for skiers and riders on a dirtbag budget, the Black Diamond Traverse FlickLock Poles are a high-quality, no-frills option for the backcountry. Like all BD poles, these are made of durable aluminum, sport carbide tips and are equipped with the dependable FlickLock mechanism which makes adjustment a snap (er, flick). The Dual density elastomer grips are good to your hands all day long. The Traverse Flicklock poles are light, compact and can handle any sort of backcountry action. A perfect option for the backcountry traveler who is already packing a probe or doesn't require the massive adjustment range of the Expedition poles.
