Black Diamond says
From casual weekend jaunts to extended backpacking trips in the mountains, the Black Diamond Trail trekking pole expertly balances comfort, features and durability. The redesigned, foam grip top adds comfort, and better handling when tackling steep terrain. Dual FlickLocks offer complete adjustability to suit the terrain, while our interchangeable carbide Tech Tips are easily swapped for our rubber Tech Tips (sold separately) to accommodate changing trail surfaces.
Sold as a pair.
Our Verdict
Black Diamond's Trail Trekking poles are an excellent general purpose pole and one of the few that adjusts up to 140cm, so perfect for taller people who need this length. The flick locks ensure that you don't have any problems deploying the poles (twist lock poles can sometimes seize in place).
They have the foam handle that extends down the shaft for uphill struggles and they come with a pair of snow baskets that are easily interchangeable with the standard ones that are already fitted. This latest version fo the Trail poles has an improved, softer foam grip.
