Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles description

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.


Nice product, nice price

In the Sierras, land of wet snow, it is nice to have an adjustable pole at a very reasonable price. Skinning up hill I lengthen them, and then coming down I shorten them. The Flicklock is sturdy and certain in holding its position. I made all of my adjustments with a thick pair of gloves on. The grips are easy on the hands, and accommodate a number of hand positions. I removed my gloves for part of my tour and had no hand discomfort. The straps were easy to adjust with gloves on and were soft to the bare hand. Changing baskets was a breeze. Recommend purchasing the powder baskets at the same time as the poles. They also look nice, and with the reasonable price, I will not be whining and complaining when I eventually break them. A great product at a great price.


very weak poles...
darren bennett:  

I had been happy with the black diamond poles I bought my wife so I finally decided to buy a pair for myself... I chose the Traverse Flicklocks because they would work w/ my BlackDiamond snow saw... However the first trip one of the poles bent while skiing.... Now the pole will not collapse... I have never had a pole bend before...


Tikka XP Headlamp did deserve Backpacker's Award
Brian in OH:  

If you are hiking at night or trying to get around the camp site at night, this headlamp does its job well. I like how light beam can be adjusted from straight to scatter with 3 different light strength levels. The quick flash option works nice when you just want to quickly locate something in the dark. While it works well for camping, etc., it isn't suited for activities like running, climbing, etc. You'll probably need something with strong output for those activities.
