Swix Medieval Carbon Ski Poles

Carbon composite poles are designed to be stiffer and lighter than aluminum, which makes them excellent for energy transfer. While they are highly durable for standard all-mountain skiing, they can be more susceptible to snapping under extreme, high-impact stress compared to the bending nature of aluminum.

All-mountain poles are built to handle a variety of conditions, from groomed runs to variable off-piste terrain. These Swix poles are balanced to provide enough stiffness for carving on hardpack while remaining light enough for maneuverability in deeper snow or trees.

The ergonomic grip is contoured to fit the natural shape of your hand, which helps reduce fatigue during long days on the mountain. It provides a more secure, comfortable hold that minimizes the need to grip tightly, allowing for a more relaxed hand position.

No, these are fixed-length poles. Fixed-length poles are generally lighter and more durable than adjustable models because they lack the mechanical locking mechanisms that can sometimes fail or add extra weight.

These poles are ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a lightweight, reliable tool for resort skiing. Because of their carbon construction, they offer a noticeable performance upgrade for anyone looking to reduce swing weight and improve their pole plant precision.
