Folkrm Wyeast Ski Poles
Best versatile touring poles for dedicated backcountry enthusiasts.
These poles ditch complex locking mechanisms for a simple, extended grip that lets you adjust your hand position on the fly. You sacrifice the infinite adjustability of traditional telescoping poles, but you gain a lighter, more reliable tool that won't freeze up or fail when you're deep in the backcountry.
