Jones Talon

The Jones Talon poles feature a three-section collapsible design that breaks down to a pack length of 61 cm. This makes them easy to stow inside or strap to the outside of most standard backcountry packs.

Yes, the articulating baskets are designed to adapt to varying slope angles, providing consistent contact and support on steep skin tracks. The extended foam grip also allows you to quickly choke up on the pole when side-hilling without needing to adjust the length.

The poles weigh 505 grams for the pair. While not the lightest carbon option on the market, the recycled aluminum construction offers a reliable balance of durability and weight for long days in the backcountry.

Yes, the locking mechanism is designed for easy manipulation even with gloves on. The extended foam grip also provides plenty of surface area to adjust your hand position on the fly without needing to change the pole length.

The scraper is built into the handle to help you quickly clear ice and snow buildup from your bindings or the tops of your skis. It is a small but helpful feature that saves you from having to use your hands or a separate tool during transitions.

These poles are adjustable between 105 cm and 135 cm, making them versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of skier heights and different touring conditions.
