DPS Carbon Adjustable Pole

Each pole weighs 224 grams. This ultralight carbon construction is designed specifically for backcountry touring where saving weight on every ascent makes a noticeable difference.

Yes, the integrated straps are fully removable. Many backcountry skiers prefer removing them when navigating steep or complex terrain to ensure the poles don't tether them in the event of a fall.

The top of the cork grip is specially shaped to act as a lever. This allows you to easily flip your touring binding's heel risers up or down without having to bend over or take your gloves off.

The quick-lock system is designed for durability and ease of use in cold, snowy conditions. It allows for rapid length adjustments on the fly, so you can shorten the poles for steep climbs or lengthen them for traversing and descents.

Carbon offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminum. It absorbs vibration better, which reduces hand fatigue during long days in the backcountry, though it is generally stiffer and less prone to permanent bending.
