Backcountry Access Scepter Ski Pole

The hybrid design balances weight and durability. The carbon fiber lower section reduces swing weight to make uphill travel less fatiguing, while the aluminum upper section provides the structural strength needed to withstand the stresses of backcountry skiing.

The integrated scraper grip allows you to clear snow and ice buildup from your ski skins and bindings without having to take your gloves off or use a separate tool. It is a small feature that significantly improves efficiency during transitions.

Yes, the straps are designed to detach under specific tension. This safety feature is intended to reduce the risk of injury or shoulder strain if your pole gets caught in a tree or rock while you are skiing.
