Maunfacturer's Description

An easy to use, comfortable pole offering year-round versatility, the Trail now comes equipped with our new 360° padded webbing for all-day comfort. At an excellent price, the Trail features glove-friendly dual FlickLocks, a non-slip foam grip with lower extension for choking down on steeper terrain, a Long Flex Tip and a low-profile, non-snagging trekking basket. The Compact is a shorter, 125-centimeter version with a reduced grip size for smaller hands.

johnmDurable poles moderately priced

Voted 5/5

The Black Diamond "Trail" Trekking poles are a good value priced moderately at around $79.00. The three piece telescoping poles feature Flicklocks which are easy to adjust even when on the move.

I have last years model and my only complaint was that when wearing gloves my hands seemed to slip at the bottom of the foam hand grip if I wasn't utlizing the straps. It appears BD took notice and enlarged the bottom of the grip for the newer poles.
