| Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles (Pair) |
 |
The Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork hiking poles are ultra-compact and lightweight, with a natural cork grip for comfort and sure-handed feel. 100% carbon fiber shafts and Double FlickLocks make the Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles ideal for a variety of conditions and uses.
Our Verdict
We stock these because of their quality but also because of the Flick Lock system - we don't know anyone whose used twist lock trekking poles who has never had a problem! So they may be a bit heavier but they offer a real alternative to standing on a hill straining to undo your trekking pole.
A similar pole to the Alpine CF, the main difference being the Alpine Carbon Cork features a natural cork grip.
Features
- 3 sections of carbon fiber create ultralight poles that absorb vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range
- Dual FlickLock adjusters allow easy, slip-proof adjustment and won't accidentally loosen like conventional "twist" type adjusters
- Natural cork grips with dual-density top knobs fit comfortably in your hands
- Adjustable nubuck leather webbing wrist loops support wrists
- Foam extensions beneath the top grips allow the hiker to drop the uphill hand lower on the shaft while traversing steep terrain
- Poles feature carbide tips and low-profile 1.5-in. trekking discs; discs' small size reduce weight and snagging
- Poles also include powder baskets for use in the snow
