Black Diamond Traverse Compactor Ski Poles

Yes, they are designed as four-season tools. Their compact folding design makes them an excellent choice for splitboarding, snowshoeing, and general winter travel where packability is a priority.

The poles utilize Z-Pole technology, which allows them to collapse into a compact size similar to a tent pole. This makes them significantly easier to stow inside or strap to the outside of a backpack compared to traditional telescoping poles.

The shaft features a built-in PH3 screwdriver, which is designed for quick, on-the-fly field maintenance. It allows you to tighten binding screws or adjust gear without needing to carry extra tools in your pack.

Yes, the FlickLock Pro mechanism is designed for easy operation even while wearing thick winter gloves. It provides a secure, reliable hold that allows for quick length adjustments on the go.

The ergonomic grip includes a flat edge specifically designed to scrape ice and snow off your skis or board. It also features a utility hook that helps you easily flip your binding heel risers without having to bend over.

The poles are constructed from high-grade aluminum, offering a strong balance between durability and weight. While they are lightweight, they are built to withstand the rigors of backcountry use and the demands of winter environments.
