BLACK DIAMOND Trail Trekking Poles (Pair), Lightweight, Aluminum, Hiking

These Black Diamond Trail trekking poles are lightweight, high quality, and feel very dependable on the trail. They are easy to carry and sturdy enough that I feel confident using them on uneven ground. I especially like the natural cork grips. They hold up well, feel comfortable in the hand, and do not develop the same odor issue I have noticed with neoprene-style grips. I also prefer aluminum poles because they feel strong and dependable, and I like knowing they are less likely to shatter under traumatic stress compared with carbon fiber. Overall, these are excellent trekking poles for hiking and outdoor use. They feel well made, practical, and built to last.

Easy to adjust on the fly, very sturdy and easy to use while hiking. They replaced a cheaper set of hiking poles that were constantly coming apart- sometimes it’s better to pay for quality.

Lost one of my BD Alpine Carbon Cork poles on the Foothills Trail, so grabbed a pair of these as replacement. Each pole only weighs 4 grams more than the carbon poles. Handles are just as comfy and locks work great. Highly recommended.

The first time I used these poles, I was carrying a 60 lbs pack. I am trying to get my son to like camping, so I loaded an old school framed backpack with all the camping luxuries you can imagine. We had to do a short hike to reach the camping site and I slipped on a rock. I used the right pole to soften my fall, which worked. The pole flexed right in front my eyes, made a curve but did not break. It is slightly bent now, not to a biggie. The telescoping still works, but it is a bit tight. I fell again on a solo trip, this time going down from some boulders, again it carried my weight and did not break. I bet a carbon pole would have broken multiple times over. Also, the handles are fantastic. Most poles have a protruding part, between where the index and middle fingers go. I don't like that. BD poles don't have that, which I appreciate. The cork is always better than the foam for me, and these are the best cork handles I've tested (I tested them all at REI). I think these poles are a good balance between durability and light weight. I suspect that I will use these for the years to come.

They are good quality and perform well. They are easy to adjust. Be aware they don't come with rubber tips.

My brother has used these for years and they have seen rugged use in Alaska! They are lightweight and fully adjustable with a built in measurement so you know where to extend them every time you use them. The extension locks are stiff to open and close but they stand up to a lot of your weight on them without collapsing like the cheaper ones do. The baskets are handy in soft sand and dirt conditions and can be removed for hard and rocky conditions. I put them to good use every day in Alaska and they worked perfectly!

Good poles, not great because they don't seem to offer a good rubber tip. The tips I bought slip over the metal tips, but the metal breaks through almost immediately. At least they don't slip down when pressure is applied like all the poles at REI.

I like it that they are strong and won’t collapse while hiking. I like the cork grip and wrist straps. They are heavier poles but that is what I was looking for. Easy clasp with measuring lines. Hiked on gravel and dirt. First hike completed with many more to come

Laut Angabe auf Herstellerseite 486 g, laut Verpackung 512 g, laut Amazon 580 g und nachgewogenes Realgewicht 532 g. Ansonsten toll verarbeiteter Stock. Armband ist etwas umständlich regulierbar.

La poignée en liège est très agréable au toucher. Les fermetures en clip semblent résistantes et fiables. Ils sont légers. Très bel aspect en rouge.

Gifted to my grand child, very happy boy

Received a second hand pair like the attached photo, and even the dirt on the sharp end is still there. Dont understand how can you expect anyone to accept a product like such when you charge for new. I didnt even open the carton packaging that binds the two poles and returning is in progress. Very dispointing and my time is wasted!
