Poles

Combining our innovative folding Z-Pole technology with winter functionality, the updated Black Diamond Compactor is a four-season aluminum pole that folds into an ultra-compact package for easy storage. The redesigned FlickLock Pro is now lighter, stronger and easier to use, with a more durable, forged aluminum construction, and offers up to 20 cm of adjustability. The Compactor's speed cone deployment, which allows it to deploy in a matter of seconds, has been upgraded with improved connections for durability. Its small size when folded makes it ideal for splitboarding, snowshoeing and airline travel to distant winter destinations. - 18 mm (.71 in) aluminum three-section shaft with speed cone deployment - FlickLock® Pro adjustability—now featuring aluminum construction that's lighter and easier to use - Touring grip with dual density soft touch rubber - Touring Series strap with lightweight webbing and plastic ladder-lock buckle - Updated speed cones for greater durability - 100 mm (4 in) Compact Powder Baskets with two-section pole capture - Indexed ferrule for 3/4 basket compatibility

The BCA Scepter Aluminum Poles are adjustable, light, and durable for the all-around mainstream backcountry skier. The Backcountry Access Scraper Grip is designed to be secure and comfortable while keeping your skis snow-free. Subtly on the grip, you will find the utility hook which makes for an effective binding and boot adjustment while on your excursion- a small yet very functional detail. The upper shaft features a sprayed-on coating for grip texture. With such, this product is as practical as a full foam grip without the weight, giving these Sceptor Aluminum Poles the lightest choke-up grip possible. FAQ: How do you adjust the straps on BCA Scepter poles? The straps are mounted to the pole grip with a cam that rotates around that fixed pin. When you pull up sharply on the strap, the cam rotates off the pin and releases. There is no screw fastening the strap to the grip like there was in the previous generation (those straps didn’t release). To put the strap back on the grip, put the black plastic cam back in place, and push on the lowest part of the plastic. The first few times it helps to place it against a hard surface when pushing.
