Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Shock Compact Trekking Pole

The Contour Elliptic Shock Compact Trekking Pole by Black Diamond is built using patent-pending Control Shock Technology (CST). The pole’s progressive four-stage shock absorption handles hard compression without bottoming out. The CST’s unrivaled dampness absorbs light and medium strikes without the ineffective pogo-ing rebound of inferior shock systems. The patent-pending external design maximizes pole collapsibility and is stealthy quiet - meaning no more “click - clack - click - clack” associated with other shock-absorbing trekking poles. Additionally - the elliptic shape of the pole provides twice the fore and aft stiffness of round-shafted poles. The Contour Elliptic Shocks also feature dual FlickLocks for solid and sure adjustments - dual-density grip tops - foam grip extensions - 360-degree Nubuck straps - Long Flex Tips and trekking baskets.
