G3 VIA Ski Poles

Yes, the G3 VIA poles come equipped with 85mm all-mountain baskets, which provide the necessary surface area to keep your poles from sinking too deep in soft, backcountry snow.

The straps are designed to be removable as a safety feature for avalanche terrain. If you are caught in a slide, being able to quickly detach your poles prevents them from acting as anchors that can twist your arms or shoulders.

The utility tab is a small, extended feature on the grip designed to help you flip your binding heel lifts or adjust your tech bindings without needing to take off your gloves. It saves you time and keeps your hands warm during transitions.

Yes, the forged aluminum lever locking mechanism is designed to be easily manipulated even with bulky gloves on. It provides a secure, reliable hold that won't slip during technical ascents.

These poles are adjustable between 95 cm and 145 cm, making them versatile enough to accommodate different skiers or to be shortened for steep climbing and lengthened for flat approaches.

They are built with aluminum, which offers a reliable balance of durability and weight. While they are sturdy enough for the rigors of backcountry travel, aluminum can bend under extreme force, but it is generally more forgiving and easier to field-repair than carbon fiber.
