For those first turns at the start of the season, mid-winter snowstorms or spring hikes, the Black Diamond Traverse Pro ski poles meet all mountain racing requirements. The Traverse Pro features the latest version of our FlickLock Pro adjustment, which is lighter, stronger and easier to use. Their forged aluminum design is also more resistant and allows for quick and reliable adjustments. The strap features innovative SwitchRelease technology with a locking function, for increased safety in the event of an obstructed pole. The poles also feature a grip bulge for better performance when going uphill or sideways.
