Black Diamond Trail Vista Shock

Folding poles have gained a lot of popularity over the last few years, but we’re still fond of telescoping poles when they’re done right and the Trail Vista Shock poles have everything a hiker or backpacker could want for on-trail reliability. With three aluminum shaft sections they offer a broad range of height adjustability with secure external locking mechanisms making those adjustments quick and easy to make. They’ve got a broad range of height adjustability to accommodate any hiker. Ergonomic cork-wrapped grips feel great in your hand even after hours on the move and adjustable wrist straps and integrated shock-dampening mechanisms alleviate strain and reduce fatigue. We’ll happily trade a few ounces and a couple of inches of packability for the performance and long-term durability these poles provide.
