Awarded "Editor's Pick” by Freeskier Magazine in 2012, the Black Diamond Compactor Ski Poles set the standard for collapsible ski poles. These three-section aluminum poles have speed cone deployment —the same principle as shock-corded tent poles—so they require mere seconds to set up. The durable Flicklock® mechanism offers 20 centimeters of height adjustment. With a comfortable grip and strap combo, textured grip extension for choking up on the shaft, and small powder baskets for a lighter swing weight, the Black Diamond Compactor Ski Poles are ideal for expedition climbers and snowboarders who need their poles to pack down small when not in use.
