Atomic BCT Touring Carbon SQS

SQS stands for Safety Quick Release System. It allows the wrist strap to detach from the pole under tension, which helps prevent wrist or shoulder injuries if your pole gets caught in trees or deep snow during a fall.

The hybrid carbon construction strikes a balance between weight and durability. It keeps the poles light enough for long ascents while maintaining the structural strength required for aggressive skiing and navigating varied, challenging terrain.

Yes, the poles are adjustable from 95 to 145 centimeters. The extended grip is specifically designed to let you choke up on the pole for steeper sections without needing to stop and adjust the actual length of the shaft.

Absolutely. They come equipped with an 85mm touring basket, which provides the necessary surface area to keep your poles from sinking too deep into soft, fresh snow.

Each pole weighs 287 grams, bringing the total weight for the pair to 574 grams. This makes them a lightweight option that won't fatigue your arms on long touring days.
