Yes, the poles feature exchangeable baskets. This allows you to switch between smaller baskets for hardpack or racing and larger powder baskets for deep snow days.

Wolfram is an exceptionally hard material that provides superior bite on ice and rock. It ensures your pole plants securely on firm, wind-scoured, or icy slopes where standard steel tips might slip.

Cork is an excellent material for touring grips because it naturally wicks moisture, conforms to your hand shape over time, and provides a comfortable, tactile feel that reduces fatigue during long ascents.
