Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles – Review

Whether you’re a seasoned multi-day backpacker or novice day hiker, Black Diamond’s Trail Trekking Poles – Women’s are for everyone and all seasons! I’ve had these poles for several years and highly recommend them.

Specs

  • 3-section poles with FlickLock adjustability and “no-slip” security
  • Easy to flick a lock open, adjust the length and close the lock; simply done while wearing gloves
  • Dual-density foam grips and extensions with padded wrist straps
  • Poles extend from 23 to 49 inches
  • Include low-profile baskets for general use and powder baskets for snowy terrain

Fit

These trekking poles are one-size-fits all. Adjustable to the comfort of most people. They are perfect for short hikes or long backpacking trips. I have used them for the past five years and find them comfortable to use, and like an extension to my body when I get into a good hiking rhythm!

Performance

Comfort

With comfortable grips and ease of adjustability while on the go, these poles feel great to use. They are extremely durable and I trust them to support me on tricky terrain – quite important when it comes to comfort!

My Black Diamond Trekking Poles were critical when backpacking the West Coast Trail in British Columbia!

Functionality

Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles are an excellent all-terrain pole. I have used them for hiking, multi-day backpacking (they SAVED my knees on the West Coast Trail!), snowshoeing, and back-country skiing. They’re easy to store on my backpack and easy to grab and quickly adjust while wearing gloves.

Durability

I’ve had these poles for 5 years, and when I’ve had to use other types of poles, they have either been a pain in the behind to adjust or have felt flimsy. These trekking poles are very trusted and durable.

Final Thoughts

Black Diamond‘s Trail Trekking Poles come with me on tons of outdoor adventures. I highly recommend them!
