6 The Best Trail Running Poles

Ah, I gotta tell you: I got these trekking poles in the mail and I am completely blown away. Extremely lightweight. Foxelli did a stand-up job hooked them out last weekend on a backpacking trip. They came in extremely handy because the hills were like this non-stop and I had a 45 pound pack on my back, and these were a godsend. Another thing I really like is the cork handle and they have this foam handle. They are pretty rugged. I don’t they’re not wearing out on me.

I’ve used them a fair amount, since I got them nice rounded edge on the top here for palming nice and secure wrist straps. Here they are fully adjustable and they do have those little blocks right here. That kind of slide in place and that’s how it locks the strap they’ve held up really well had no issues with any of these kind of bracket pieces here. These have no play because they have these sort of twist locks, or these clamp locks packs down really small a lot of adjustability on this.

These are going to be a staple of all of my backpacking trips. From now on, they are fantastic. I am totally sold. The poles are going to last and be really good on the trail, I’m going to be using these on every hiking trip that I go on from now on. If you enjoy hiking or backpacking and you’ve never tried, trekking poles give this pair a shot, they’re affordable, and they work really really well, and I promise you you’ll never want to leave without them. When you go on a long hike, do so bye.

Got, the men’s version also comes in a women’s version. Really nice all around options. You have got anti shock built into the poles, You have got user, friendly, external flick locks and three part adjustability, really nice options for year round. Back country use As I mentioned there. These are there part adjustable poles, which means you have got two flick.

Locks These are flick, lock pro mechanisms on the Trail Pro Shock So. It is a really nice metal construction on these nice hardware as well, just whether you are wearing gloves or you have got bare hands these. Just they are so user friendly, On, the men’s poles. You have got adjustability from 27 inches to 55 inches On, the women’s poles. They are a little shorter, so you are starting at 24 inches and going out to 49 inches in length.

You have got durable, but light weight, aluminum construction on these poles The men’s the pair comes in at 20 ounces. For the pair, the women’s an ounce lighter at 19 ounces for the pair You want to take a look at these grips because they are unique As, the name would sug-gest. You do have an anti shock mechanism on these poles. It is not down in the shaft.

It is actually in the grip itself. So you can see that give It is pretty passive. It is not springy. It is not going to be bouncing on you, but when you need it, when you are really bearing down on the pole, it will have some give. There is vibration. Whenever you are using trek-king poles You strike the ground. That vibration makes its way up the poles.

It is going to hit that last solid piece which happens to be your wrist This will dampen that So. It takes some of the repetitive strain during long days on the trail. You can see nice contoured foam grips here as well as an extended length beneath that shock mechanism. That would enable you, when you are side, hilling or back and forth on switch backs.

You wouldn’t necessarily have to readjust the poles each time. You could change it where you are holding them or grabbing them. It also gives you another place to hold it. When you are making adjustments So that extended length has some nice benefit there. You can see integrated padded wrist. Straps There is also full adjustability on those to really dial in that fit At the bottom of the poles.

You have got Black, Diamond’s flex, tech tips. So. You can see this portion here on the poles It is actually designed. Should you have a catastrophic in-stance, and maybe you put the poles down in between two rocks and your weight bears down on them rather than snapping the poles. This can actually break away. It doesn’t sound like a good thing, but this is a replaceable part.

While broken shafts is a different story. You can see this small disk here. This is called a basket. It is a very low profile basket that comes with these poles For on trail usage that is sufficient. Winter comes along. You may be looking for a broader diameter basket that keeps the poles from driving too deeply into the snow or even in mud.

For that matter. There are broader diameter baskets that can be purchased separately and threaded into place. On the pole, At the very end, you can see a carbide tip perfect for on trail usage and dirt and mud un-improved surfaces If you are going to be using them on improved surfaces or, in certain cases, even on rocks something a bit more solid that might eat up the carbide tip.

These will screw out. You can purchase separately rubber tech tips that will screw into place. And that is better on those surfaces. Also sold separately are caps, tip protectors, a press fit design that will go over the tips themselves. And. That is a nice piece also for travel. It keeps these from coming into con-tact with clothes or other items.

Again. Just a great combined feature set on these poles and a good price for what you are getting as well. You have got that anti shock. You have got that broad range of adjusta-bility full featured grip. It really makes the Black Diamond Trail Pro Shock poles ideal for year round use in varying conditions.

Good morning, outdoor enthusiasts hikers, backpackers trail runners. Anyone else out there today we’re going to be reviewing the black dining – pro trail, Pro shock, trekking poles. So now trekking poles come in different sizes. This one is the 68 140 centimeter, so it’s adjustable. I chose these because they’re a four-season trekking pole and they have a shock absorber and they have the they’re.

The quick adjust, buckles I want to say they call them when they called the flick, lock, Pro, so that shot control these cushions. Here it has a four-stage shock absorption in it, so it can handle some pretty hard compressions, which is good because unity, you don’t know like you, could just be my body weight. It could be 50 pounds on my back or even more so that’s good and the foot lock.

Pro is actually nice because it’s its first off, it’s stainless steel. So again that all-weather and then it’s really low profile. It’s not that much bigger than this basket here on the bottom and the other thing that’s nice about it is dual axle design, so it it’s I want to say it’s guaranteed to keep this locked in whatever position you leave it in, but it’s going to lock it in there pretty good.

They come with a basket. I, Club, I’d, tip I, believe it says it comes with extra tips. They might be in this box. Here, I, don’t know, I haven’t looked unless it just comes with the tips that are on it. These tips are interchangeable. These baskets are interchangeable as well. You can buy bigger ones. No, you can buy tip protectors, you can buy a rubber tip, there’s different tips out there you can use.

It’s got a nice, a lot of cork handle, but it’s like a felt handle. This top here is rubber. These straps are pretty nice too. This is like a nylon out here and then on. The inside feels just like the fabric, that’s on their head, lamps for the head, strap. So it’s kind of soft. It’s almost like a fleece kind of like a micro fleece. Maybe everything else seems to be pretty stout again.

It says it’s a four season: Pole, that’s one reason why I bought it and the shock absorption. That’s the main reason why I bought it so again they. This is part of the trail series, so my biggest thing is for really big steep hikes and maybe even weekend hikes I, don’t know where I’m going, what I’m doing but they’re they’re, not that heavy they’re, pretty lightweight, Wow, sorry and I mean the way 590 grams, but throwing them on my backpack.

It’s not going to be that heavy and you’ll never know when you need a mining, attire, I, don’t know I, just don’t know, I, don’t know if I’m doing the PCH and I’m going to do it. You know I, don’t know, I really don’t know. I was just kind of going for the worst case scenario. So, but again, the major factors are the main reasons why I picked this pole.

I know they make the carbon Z, which is a lot lighter, but I’m I didn’t do that. Much research on those I just know that these are forces in pole and I’m, going to throw them bigger baskets for snow shading in the winter and then, of course, I got these carbide tips for climbing mountains and I can buy rubber tips on them too, if I’m in rocky areas or our softer softer areas.

So but you had a shock absorption and the weight is not that heavy, the baskets the versatility, the adjustment on them and the structurally sound adjustment feature on them as well. So there’s anything that else you’d like to know that’s not on the website or you’d like me to show you you’re, pointing out to you.

Me you’re, a big fan of trekking poles and I always want to know what’s new and coming out on the market. So today we’re going to talk about the new Black Diamond trail Pro, charging, poles, let you know how they did. We put them to the test. These are the new Black Diamond trail, Pro, trekking poles and some of the nice features about the trekking pole is number one. It’s got a nice hard foam handle, sometimes the really hard foam handles will get a little bit wet or a little bit snowy covered, and then you, your ham, slides on this is more of a hard foam.

But yet it’s got a soft feel to it, and even though it’s wet or there’s snow on it, your hands still drift to it really well or you’re, sweaty and more aerobic activities. It’s also got an extension on the bottom. So that way, when you’re going uphill- and you need to choke down a little bit to keep your angle right, you can just choke your hand, down I, really really like that. It’s got a really comfortable wrist wrap around here. You can adjust it easily to make it fit and then the flintlock system.

This is the new flintlock Pro system which I really like you know. They went from the twist locks to a flintlock and now they’ve got a flintlock Pro and the flintlock Pro works really really well just easily flips over there’s an adjustment on a screw right here, so it’s easily accessible and the actual flintlock is it Clips over actually covers up that screw protects it. So it doesn’t let it tighten up or loosen up and really protects it.

The rest of trekking poles pretty much the same as most the other Black Diamond trekking poles, a couple different baskets to choose from which is always nice. The Black Diamond sends you titanium tips and very, very durable, I’m, very, very lightweight, maybe not quite as lightweight as some of the liked Z series, but overall, very lightweight. These trekking poles run around 129 dollars, there’s also a shock one that you can get that’s one hundred and thirty nine dollars.

So if you’re looking for some new trekking poles, definitely want to check out the Black Diamond trail pro I. Think you’ll, really like you.

Black Diamond Trail, Pro, Trekking Poles are an excellent balance of price and perfor-mance You are getting a high end feature set for year round, use at a really affordable price. Let’S. Take a closer look at the features of the Black Diamond Trail Pro, trekking pole, The Trail Pro. Poles are three section: poles So, you have got two points of adjustability It enables these telescoping poles to collapse down to just 25 inches, but gives them a nice adjustability range.

In fact, all the way up to 55 inches You have got markings on the shaft sections to let you know exactly what length you have extended them to And. You have got easy to use and nicely constructed flick, lock pro locking mechanisms So. It is an external locking mechanism. You, don’t need to worry over whether it is tight enough or loose enough Open. It Move it to where you want it to be, and lock it down.

The metal construction in play here on the flick, lock pro mechanism increases strength and also in-creases the durability and longevity You have got extended length. Eva foam grips on the Trail Pro, trekking poles, So. Really nice comfortable hand hold Next to skin. That foam feels just really nice really comforta-ble You have got adjustable straps for your wrists The fabric on the inside of those straps wicks moisture, which also enhances comfort, gives you a little bit of padding as well The extended length to those grips comes in handy.

If you are using these in winter, you have got gloved hands and it can just be. You know a little troublesome to hold the poles. While you are making adjustments. You have got that much more range at which to grab the poles. That length of grip range also comes in handy when you are side hilling or you are traversing back and forth across a slope If. You didn’t have that extension.

You only have those top grips. You might find yourself making micro adjustments to the length of the poles every time you turn on a switch back. It can be a little inconvenient and can slow you down. But. You can set the Trail Pro poles to a height at which you can change where you are grabbing them. As you cut back and forth across that hill, Really conven-ient, smart, simple feature that certainly adds value to the poles On, the other end of the poles is where you will find Black Diamond’s flex, tech tips So.

That is this entire piece here at the bottom of the lowest shaft section. It is worth mention that the design there is such that this whole piece is replaceable. It is designed that way, because it is also constructed in such a fashion that, if you would find yourself with the poles in the kind of situation that could break the poles and by that I mean actually breaking or snapping the aluminum shaft sections.

Instead of that occurring, this piece can break away While that might not sound ideal. It is a whole lot better than having actually broken shaft sections, especially in the back country So. That is a replaceable part On. The very end of that tip is where you will find the carbide portion, which is really what is coming into contact with the ground On dirt on trail those kid of surfaces.

This is ideal. This can be screwed off entirely and replaced with a semi permanent rubber tip. It is sold separately, but available for purchase in replacement for that tip. It gives the poles versatility and basically puts those poles in a much better position to perform on im-proved surfaces. If you were using these at all on roads or even indoors, Some people are taking these on museum tours, and things like that, Or on rock That rubber tip can actu-ally give a little bit better performance on a smooth rock than a carbide tip might So again.

Black Diamond builds some of that versatility in While. We are talking about there on the tips. You will see some threading on the tip itself, And just above it. You will see this low profile, trekking basket, On most surfaces where you are probably not sinking very deeply into the ground anyway. This basket is enough to stop the poles from going any further than you want them to If.

These poles were to go too far into the ground. They are actually not giving you that smooth supportive action that you are expecting of the poles. The reason you are using them in the first place, Black Diamond, throws in with each pair of Trail Pro trekking poles. These broader profile powder, baskets You, think about using these in snow Snow is going to give way in a fashion that dirt or packed trails will not And.

In that case, you are going to love the fact that these slow, the progress of the poles into the ground You get that tip far enough in to give you the purchase you want and you keep moving forward. So again great value built into these poles by having Black Diamond include them. Black, Diamond, Trail, Pro, trekking poles with that durable aluminum construction. Those easy to use extremely durable flick, lock, pro external locking mechanisms, the powder baskets thrown in you- have got an excellent amount of value and year round performance in this single set of poles.

Trekking poles, these poles offer easy to use locks extended length, grips for varying your hand, position and strong aluminum construction. The pole is designed with three telescoping aluminum sections. This forged aluminum construction gives you strong, durable support, while keeping the weight low. This telescoping construction allows the poles and adjustability range of 41 to 55 inches poles collapse down to 25 inches for storage, sturdy flick, lock, Pro locks are located on the upper sections of these poles.

These kinds of locks are popular due to their reliability and their ease of use. This is especially important when you’re wearing gloves on the lower section of the poles. A smash law, quick release, feature, allows you to quickly extend or collapse that section to lengthen extend the lower section until it clicks to collapse, push the smash lock down and shorten the section.

These polls have contoured foam grips. The grips extend far down the upper pole sections allowing you to adjust your hand position in response to terrain without having to change the overall length of the pole. The adjustable high surface wrist straps, reduce stress on your joints. The poles include carbide tech tips and low-profile 38 millimeter trekking baskets.

These carbide tips can be switched out for compatible rubber tips available from Black Diamond. That means you can use the carbide tips when you need white on icy ground. When you need grip that won’t damage trails, you can switch to the non scarring rubber tips. The baskets are also interchangeable. Wider 100, millimeter powder baskets can be added for deep snow.

The interchangeable tips and baskets are sold separately. These poles combine the durable lightweight strength of aluminum, with fast easy to use locks to give you strong support.

Thursday, which means I’m reviewing another piece of gear of mine today, I’ll be reviewing my favorite piece that I took with me on the Appalachian Trail, and that was my Black Diamond trail pro shock, trekking poles. Well, you’ve heard me say it that my trekking poles were my favorite piece of gear on the trail. There’s no line of that. The first thing that I loved about these was just the multi-functionality that I had with them.

These serve as my tent poles, in addition to my trekking poles, a second with using my technique on these poles I was able to ascend and descend mountains so much faster than if I was not using any trekking poles or maybe just walking sticks now. I’ll be talking about my special technique that I actually used that made these really effective in another video that I’ll be releasing on Saturday, but that part was just fantastic and the third thing these poles help prevent so many injuries that that really I was vulnerable on the trail to I can’t tell you how many times that these things saved me from rolling my ankle and just distributing the weight from everything that is on my upper body to my poles, instead of distributing it to my lower body.

So these things were just fantastic, but the reason why I went with the specific model was just because of the durability. I’ve hiked, with lots of different trekking poles in my life and I, have found that there was not a trekking pole that have had that actually withstood the test of the miles and the views that I put on them quite like these poles. Now, when I got to the end of the trail, Katahdin I actually had one of my poles that had broke in a couple different places, and that was really due to me.

Slipping on a rock and actually this point underneath me and break in my fall and but I will tell you. There are so many times that I had thought. I was going to break these shafts and, and they just wood stood very well now these are made of aluminum. The shafts that is I have used some trekking poles out there that have the carbon fiber and I had two different pairs of them, both from REI and I, actually shattered one of them and then the other one of the the ends broke.

Like my second day that I was using it with my technique that I use with my trekking now. The technique that I use does put a lot of abuse on these things and again, that’s the reason why I had to have a really durable, solid, trekking pole. Now these come in at 20 ounces, each one weighs 10 ounces, so it’s a little bit heavier than what you’re going to see with a lot of those carbon-fiber poles out there.

But again for me, the the weight didn’t really matter. It was more of the durability. Now the features on this pole that I really love the first. Is this flick lock mechanism, this flick, lock mechanism was just outstanding. I, never had a problem with this slipping or collapsing, while I was hiking, I’ve had some other power locks that I’ve owned in the past, where power, lock systems that have slipped and collapsed, and the flick lock system is so much better than the twist lock.

I will never ever own another pair of trekking poles that have the twist lock the problem with those they just get stuck all the time and they collapse all the time. So that was an essential component that I needed with my trekking. Poles was something they had a power lock, but these flick locks I was just really impressed with the other thing that I loved about the flick, lock mechanism was during the course of time.

The numbers that are usually on your trekking poles start to disappear because of the abuse from the shafts and collapsing the poles, and it just rubs up against the the numbers and lettering, and it just wears off, and the trekking poles that I use on the Appalachian Trail when I, actually summited katana, you could still make out the numbers on the side here and I was just really impressed, so that was something that I really loved about these as well.

The numbers are really helpful because you know exactly where to set your pole length at so anyway. The flick, lock were just amazing now. Another feature that I loved about these trekking poles was the the dual grips that you have right here. You have two different areas that you actually can hold on. Your trekking pole to you got the top grip up here, which is you know your your handle, but then you also have a foam handle on the bottom, and this was really helpful because when I would be descending, I would always usually grip on to the top foam pad, and when I was ascending a lot of times, I would actually hold on to the grips right here through my strap.

So it was really nice being able to have two different areas that you can actually hold on to now. I love these straps they’re, really durable, easy to adjust. I did have some issues with them. Slipping near the end right now. I don’t really have that issue at all. These are brand new poles, but I would say once I got about 14 1 500 miles being on them. They would start to slip through the miles of the day and I probably would have to adjust them, maybe two three times a day, I just kind of got used to it.

Now these trekking poles have the anti shock on them, which you know really takes away. Some of the vibrations and abuse that you would have normally on your wrist or your elbows. Now one issue that I had with the anti-shock mechanism here is somewhere in Pennsylvania I, actually had my shocks, bottomed out, I, don’t know if that’s really the term that you use, but basically what happened was the the top of the shock actually because of all the views and the pressure that I was putting on top of it.

It just basically got stuck, and there was a gap in the shock valve right here, where you have this top of the lip here just below my my grip handle, and there was probably maybe I, don’t know a couple millimeter gap and basically my shock mechanism was stuck and for the first I don’t know, maybe day I couldn’t figure out how to reset that I tried to put a lot of pressure on it and punch it and all kinds of things and it didn’t work, and it was just really annoying.

What I ended up finding out, though, is, if you actually just put pressure on both sides and push in really hard. It actually would release and go back to its original form. Now that probably happened to me about five times on the trail, so that was one thing that I didn’t like about these, but I would say the advantage of having these outweighed the disadvantage of that issue. All right.

One thing that I forgot to mention about the straps. You actually have one strap that says r4 right and one that says L for left. These letters did wear off. You know I would say somewhere probably couple three months in, but it was kind of nice just to know which one was right, which one was left because I got used to it and I, don’t know what kind of conformed I guess to to to my hand, at least that’s what it felt like it felt different when I had them swap I, don’t know it was weird, but but I did like having to know which one was right, which one was left and the the Flex tips on the bottom.

Here, these flex tips I ended up having to change about four times, and that wasn’t because of the design of this. It was because of the technique I actually used when I was using. My trekking poles I will again I’ll talk about that in in another video, but the flex tips were really simple to take off and to put back on so I, really like that piece of these as well and with all of the buttes that I went through my entire journey I was just really impressed.

They actually lasted the entire time, so I strongly recommend these poles. They are a favorite of mine and if you look on Amazon once in a while, they’ll have incredible discount on these the pair that I got right here. I actually got for $79 about three weeks ago and when I looked on Amazon today, I think they’re coming in at about ninety seven dollars. Normally these are a hundred and forty dollar hundred thirty dollar trekking poles.

So the Amazon does have some great price on these. If you just wait it out and wait till they’re on sale, alright, guys well that wraps up my review of my Black Diamond trail, Pro Shop, trekking poles, I love these things, I give them 5 stars. I reviewed a lot of these online and a lot of the reviews came somewhere around the 4 8 out of 5 star range. The there was one review that someone wrote.

They had the same issue with me with the shocks and she actually called Black Diamond and they sent her a brand new pair. No questions asked and let her keep the old pair for spare parts which I thought was really cool so that wraps it up. I would love to hear from all of you what pair of trekking poles that you use or if you are biased towards one that you really love, and we kind of just share that around that would be awesome, stay tuned from an exciting and remember to always follow Bigfoot.

Black Diamond trail shock, compact of price and performance. You have extended length, narrow diameter compact grips shock, absorption mechanisms built right into the poles and durable aluminum construction that make these poles ideal for year-round use. Trek compact poles have extended length, foam grips, nice texture here feels really comfortable in your hand, and it does have a narrower diameter than the standard versions, yet making them a a better choice for smaller hands.

The extended portion of these grips allows you to change on the go where you’re actually grabbing the poles. It saves you from making numerous micro adjustments in instances where terrain may be varying in such a way that you’d otherwise constantly be going up and down with where you’ve set the poles. At the very top of the grips you’ll see this textured dimpled and an ovoid portion of the pole, that’s designed to be very comfortable in the palm of your hands at certain times on the trail you may find it that’s the way you prefer to actually grip the poles.

Lastly, here is foam padded wrist straps, which really takes some of the stress off your wrists, while in use certainly a standout feature on the trail shop. Compact poles is the shock absorption mechanism itself. You’re. Seeing here, Black Diamond has embedded that mechanism in the grip itself, rather than at the lower section of poles, which is where many manufacturers place this thinking here is it improves on swing weight by having it further from the ground, as I press on the pole itself, you’ll see the give when you’re striking down hard with these poles that that will be exaggerated again.

Taking that stress off your wrist, when you don’t need that deep shock, it’s very passive, you barely even notice. It again makes these comfortable to use in varying terrain drove shock. Compact poles consist of three sections: the middle and lower sections being adjustable, see. There’s graduated markings here on the poles to indicate exactly what length you’ve reached on the compact version.

A full extension is 125. Centimeters, locking in that in place is very easy, with black diamonds flick, lock mechanism, just flip it down when you’re ready to make an adjustment. Flip it open move the poles to where you need them to be close, that flick, lock again for a nice, secure, lock at the bottom of the poles, our flex tech tips, there’s a breakaway design on these tips, so on the off chance that you would get them stuck between rocks or a crack.

These will actually break away, that’s good because it saves the aluminum shaft sections from actually breaking. This is an easy replace. Should this come off at the very end of the flex. Tek-Tips is a carbide portion that comes into contact with trails dirt things of that nature and gives you a nice bite. Good traction, there’s a design that, in this these flex, tech tips that allow you to take that off and screw in its place, a rubber tip, that’s better suited for improved surfaces for travel, put that in place, and then this carbide tip doesn’t come into contact with other things that you’re packing low profile trekking baskets, come included with the poles.

A threaded design beneath that allows you to utilize, broader diameter, snow, baskets or deep powder baskets for winter use. Those accessories are sold separately. You.

Trail Pro trekking poles. The aluminum construction gives incredible durability for the weight. The simple wax make height adjustments a breeze and the foam grips are soft and comfortable. Let’s check them out. These are three section: telescoping poles with durable, aluminum shafts. These women’s specific poles adjust from 95 centimeters to 125 centimeters, with the flick, lock, Pro mechanisms they enable you to make height adjustments easily just flick them open with your thumb, adjust to the right height and flick them closed.

The lower section locks into place at a fixed point with black diamonds smash lock. This eliminates the need to adjust the top and the bottom sections to the same height, just pull down until it locks itself into place. It gets its name because, in order to collapse the poles back down again, you simply release the upper flick lock and then smash the upper section down into the lower one. It releases the lock as you press down and then you’re all packed up.

The foam grip offers an extension, so you can grasp it. When you reach an uphill section of trail, the top of the grip is flat, so you can Palm it going downhill. The adjustable straps take a note from black diamonds, comfortable and supportive solution.

They pack down to be really small And with the FlickLock Pro locking mechanisms.

They are really easy to use. So. All you need to do is flick them open with your thumb. They are really easy. There Adjust it to your preferred size and then flick them closed. These locks feel like they are very, very durable So. They have mostly aluminum construction. They have a little bit of plastic on there. But using these with gloves or using these with. Just your bare hands is really easy: You don’t have to apply a lot of force, to open them or to close them, So very, very good construction.

There And, as I said they are the shaft sections, are aluminum, so a lot of durability, but they are also very lightweight Going up to the grips you have dual density foam here in the grips and the thing I love about foam is that you have reliable performance in four seasons So in the winter. If you are using gloves, it works really well with the foam grips. They are not going to slide around In the summer. In hotter temperatures, if your hand are sweating, perspiring, foam really wicks away, sweat and, unlike rubber grips, they are not going to be slippery when they are wet On.

The top. Here you have a flat top So. If you need to you, can palm the top of this pole If you are descending or, if you like, to use the pole in that way, I can see that being comfortable in your hands. And with that, we have really far extended grips So. This is just the regular position here, but down below the regular grip. You can grab this pole at different places. So, if you are hiking on uneven terrain or if you don’t want to make minor adjustment with the pole, you can just grab this pole at different spots.

It is a really great feature there. And, you have a really nicely padded. Strap This is an adjustable strap. It is really easy to use. Going down to the bottom of the pole. You have Black Diamond’s press fit Tech. Tips This is a replaceable piece. So if you need to replace them, you can buy them separately or, if, in the unlikely event that your trekking pole gets caught between rocks or in a position that might harm the trekking pole, this tip is meant to break first Down at the bottom of the tip.

You have the WaveLock system by Black, Diamond So. You can actually take this small part on the bottom off and replace it with a rubber end. They do come standard with a carbide end, but, like I said you can buy them separately and replace it with that or use just a Black Diamond tip protector that is press fit over top They come standard with the low profile baskets, but they also come with a winter basket. There is threads there on that tip, so you can just unscrew the low profile basket and put the bigger one on With, the high quality, FlickLock Pro, locking mechanisms and just the overall quality that we have come to expect from Black Diamond.

You can be confident in the backcountry with these trekking poles. It is the Women’s Black Diamond Trail Pro Trekking Poles.

Hey Johnny, mostly here for Peter, Glenn, ski and sports, this in my hands, my friend is not a ski pole. This is the Black Diamond trail, Pro, trekking pole, all right now in the winter, I use a lot of Black Diamond poles and they do a really good job of creating really easy to use class, and this is called their flick, lock check it out boom, it’s really easy to use, but it’s very effective.

A lot of these mechanisms will slip and slide this one’s very easy to tighten as well just put a little screwdriver in there and close the clamp if you need to to get the certain lock, but it’s already adjusted perfectly. It comes in three sections. Has a nice numerous numbering system, so you know exactly how far how large you’re making it on both poles, but it also does give you the flexibility to really micro, adjust, don’t lank great grip here, and what I really like here for for trekking and walking is that it has a little internal nice padded material where it hits your hand.

Okay, cuz you’re not really always wearing a glove when you’re using this trekking poles. So it’s not gonna check your hand after a long day or a long few days or after a week of Trek, pretty easy to adjust this little strap to just has a little cleat. That’s really all there is to. It has a little foam right on the lower part of the pole.

So when you’re you know on an angle side hill, you can just grab here and not be all the way up. High on the pole comes with two different baskets. You have a powder basket as well, really easy to put on and off. You can also replace the carbide tip.

Welcome to the trail section at the beauty booth at creative Safin, we’re here, looking at the new trail Pro so for spring 19, we’re updating all our trail, family and trim. Pro is one of our most most sold poles. So there’s a few features that we’ve changed here, starting with the flick clock like that and remembers the first inventor of the flick Wapato, so a metal flake Locker. We have redesigned that for spring 19 and it’s now hot forged.

We have optimized the sizing and reduce it in ways. Second thing: we have done we’re introducing the smash lock system, the smash, lock system, it works as it sounds. You press it down and you smash the pole together and then it’s really a great use usability. You now only need to regulate the pole on one size on one point where size so when when using it, you just deploy it, and you have one system where you put the length in instead of to smash, lock technology and trail through the play clock.

Pro, we’ve also updated the rubber grip on the top to be to be more nicely next to skin and ergonomic, and we’ve also integrated our solution construction. So our harness construction in the strap for very smooth, smooth handling, trail Pro retails at 120 euros.

And I wanted to get new ones anyway, because that’s really dull, so I ordered these off Amazon for five or six bucks. I think this is dirt cheap. That says, to get these tips off the flex tips in boiling water for two minutes and then carefully pull the tip off pliers may be needed to install place the Flex tech tip into the pole and pound the tip into the ground to set it tightly in place. These are genuine Black, Diamond replacement tips, which really surprises me for the Flex, very cheap price target.

Two minutes: what’s your problem, just cuz I went downstairs and got my poles. You think we’re doing something: we’re not going anywhere: okay, Oh! That came off easy new tip. Well, that’s probably it okay, all right! So, okay, no more cracky, ready, yep! That says put this part in not the thick part. We just yep, I, guess, I’ll put my baskets. We don’t have our new ones yet little ones they seem to screw on and then once they’re on they spin the basket. We sweet sweet.

Beautiful Nepal today this is trekking FAQ is keeping you informed and in shape for the mountains on this channel. I’ll share with you my travel advice, fitness tips specifically for trekking as well as gear review videos just like this one. So if you’re new here consider subscribing in this video I am reviewing the Black Diamond trail ergo cork, it’s one of my favourite trekking poles on the market at the moment and I’ll be sharing with you.

The features that I really love about this pole, as well as some of the things to avoid and things to look for when shopping for trekking poles. So without further ado, here’s the review- we’ve got beautiful cool candles. A cork is so comfortable over a long periods of time. If you think about it, this is going to be in your hand for potentially six to ten hours a day, so cool wicks, away, sweat or automatically probably absorbs it, but it is far more comfortable than hanging onto a phone all day.

As we move down the pole, the cork gives way to a foam non-slip handle. So that’s great when you need to quickly change from an angle where it’s a slight incline to a really steep incline and then, rather than changing the pole, flick lock, you just grab at the lower handle. So that’s super super handy and I’d be looking for that in any trekking pole that I’ve bought. Also in terms of the structure of the pole, it’s made from aerospace alloy, which sounds very fancy.

I, don’t know exactly where that comes from, but it is very, very light at only 510 grams for the set one of the things that I recommend you look for straightaway when buying trekking poles is that it is using a flick, lock, system, flick, locks or a must-have for trekking poles and Black. Diamond have now that, with this pole in particular, I’ve had a lot of trouble with twistlock poles that have very complex mechanisms within the pole, but not only take up a lot of weight, but they can also file, and they do regularly.

I’ve had a number of instances where I’ve had trekking poles break on me and deep snowy conditions, and it’s the last thing you need with a flick lock and what black Dromund have done with this flick. Lock is made it very very simple, so there aren’t any moving parts, there’s nothing that can break and go wrong other than a simple screw that holds the flick, lock together, which is pretty hard to break in itself in terms of the dimensions it’s 74 centimeters long and can be up to a hundred and forty centimeters long within the first few minutes of use.

You will notice that they are very well made and you can feel that just in your hand, as you were using the poles when you place your weight into the poles, I feel very sturdy, there’s a very small amount of flex and for something that’s so light. It’s surprisingly strong at the other end of the pole, it comes with a choice of baskets. You’ve got the standard, hiking basket, which is maybe four centimeters wide.

You also get snow baskets with the poles. They are included and they’re very easy to screw on and off in terms of the tip. You’ve got a very strong, anti, corrosive carbide tip. What is surprising about these poles is. It doesn’t come with a cover to go over the carbide tip, which I thought was a little strange, but, as was pointed out in a comment on another one of my checking pile videos, these plastic tips have been showing up all over hikes and there was one particular case of a guy in the Grand Canyon who’d noticed them all up and down the trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon sites.

What’s really important is when you’re using trekking poles is to remove that plastic cap unless you’re going to somewhere, like the Inca Trail, where they actually require that you use that plastic cap, so it doesn’t damage the rock. In summary, these are a great all season, multi-purpose pole that you can use summer winter they’ve got to be one of the best poles on the market and I highly recommend that if you are going to do some trekking, especially in the Himalayas that you watch my other video on how to use trekking poles, there is many benefits of using them from staying injury free through to exerting yourself west to wrap up I’m going to give the black diamonds trail ergo cork, five mountains out of five.
