Black Diamond Equipment Contour Elliptic Trekking Poles

The versatile three-section Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Trekking Poles are the ideal hiking, trekking, snowshoeing and even backcountry skiing poles. The elliptical shaft and grip shape adds strength and ergonomic comfort. Three-section adjustability makes them the ideal pole for traveling, because you can shorten them to fit on your day pack or to fit inside your travel duffel. The 15-degree corrective angle grips are easy on your wrists and promote a natural stride whether you are hiking or nordic skiing, and the double FlickLock adjusters are easy to use for quick length adjustments. If you have not hiked with ski poles before, you are in for a treat. The added balance and stability a good set of trekking poles provides is priceless. The convenience of three-section adjustability just adds versatility. Backcountry snowboarders will dig the three-section poles because they stow easily on your pack during the descent.

Very Nice Poles
I really like these poles. Easy to adjust with mittens on. The lock is real secure, don't think there will be any issue with slipping. Only used them one day so far but looking forward to many, many snowshoeing excursions with these poles! Nice pole for the price.

Strong, Light and Comfortable.
I never had an interest in trekking poles until I borrowed my friends on a couple of week long backpacking trips and I had to get my own. I've put a couple hundred miles on them and besides some scuffs and scratches they are in great shape. The elliptical design definitely adds strength. I've had buddies who have used cheaper poles and they've bent or fell apart. The grips and webbing are super comfortable and have never caused any discomfort or chaffing even walking 20+ mile days in the middle of summer. I've even used these along with a tarp to make shelter and never had any problems. Definitely recommended.

Nothing short of brilliant
I was out on an 8 day trek in the Tasmanian wilderness when my left foot had a bout of gout. It was immensely painful whenever I put pressure on it but for the sake of completing the hike, I had to go on. Without the aid of my new Black Diamond poles, I don't think I would've been able to complete the hike. I had to put so much pressure on the poles to traverse over undulating terrain on ascents/descents that there were points I thought they would buckle and crack. But they held up supremely well and are deserving of the 5 star rating.
