Folkrm Pahto Ski Poles
Best minimalist tool for backcountry skiers seeking versatile grip options.
These touring poles prioritize on-the-fly adaptability, letting you choke up on the extended grip for steep ascents without fiddling with adjustments. While the collapsible design makes them incredibly easy to stow, you sacrifice the absolute stiffness of a fixed-length pole for that unmatched backcountry convenience.
