Black Diamond Compactor Ski Poles

Thanks to the Z-Pole folding technology, these poles collapse into a very small package that easily fits inside most backpacks or carry-on luggage, making them an excellent choice for travel.

Yes, these are designed as four-season poles. While they excel at splitboarding and backcountry skiing, their durability and adjustability make them suitable for snowshoeing and general winter trekking.

The FlickLock Pro is a lever-based system that allows you to adjust the pole length by up to 20 cm. The redesigned version is lighter and easier to operate, even while wearing gloves.

The poles come equipped with 100 mm Compact Powder Baskets, which are ideal for deep snow. While they are designed for winter use, the baskets are generally fixed, so they are best suited for snow-covered terrain rather than summer hiking.

These poles are built with high-quality forged aluminum, which offers a reliable balance of strength and weight. They are designed to withstand the rigors of backcountry use without the fragility sometimes associated with ultra-lightweight carbon poles.
