Atomic BCT Freeride SQS Touring Pole

These are fixed-length poles. While they don't offer on-the-fly length adjustments, this design reduces weight and increases overall structural integrity compared to telescoping models.

The extended grip allows you to choke up on the pole during steep side-hill traverses or technical climbs without having to adjust your pole length. It provides a secure, comfortable hold when you need to quickly change your hand position.

The high-grade aluminum used here strikes a reliable balance between weight and strength. It is robust enough to handle the impacts of off-piste skiing and rocky terrain while remaining light enough for long days in the backcountry.

Yes, they are versatile enough for both resort and side-country use. While they are optimized for touring, their durable construction and ergonomic grip perform well in lift-served terrain.

SQS stands for Safety Quick Release System. It allows the strap to instantly release from the grip under tension, which helps prevent injuries to your hands and wrists during a fall or if your pole gets caught in a tree or rock.
