Black Diamond Syncline Pole

Hiking & Camping > Trekking PolesRated: **** by 3 reviews.

Backcountry.com

The two-section Black Diamond Syncline Trekking Poles go well with hikers and backpackers who don't often have their poles strapped to their packs. You don't need three section poles if you always use yours, so why spend the extra money? The Syncline Trekking Poles have FlickLock adjustments that work when they get icy, wet, muddy, or dirty. You just can't fool these things. Black Diamond's foam grips feel comfortable against your hands when you pass mile 15 on your hike. The contoured handles reduce wrist fatigue to keep you going strong at mile 25.

Great buy

Rating:****
These are great poles! Started using them in Hawaii on some day hikes then took them out on the Kalalau trail and they performed very well. Can seem a bit too flexible when extended to 135cm and beyond. I use them at 135cm and there's a little give but not enough to lose confidence in them. Great purchase and wish I had discovered these earlier!

Strong and light

Rating:*****

I've had these for about six months and have used them on several day hikes in various hills and mountains around the Bay Area. I am def. not a lightweight (260), so I appreciate the absolute solidity of the flicklock system. These things are just what the Dr. ordered for saving my knees -- after 20 years of soccer -- on the downhill segments.

"Works well for me!"

Rating:****
Besides the fact that trekking poles are for wussies, I actually found these to be pretty helpful. Undoubtedly I find myself using these as crutches on the way down, and swinging my weight between. Just dont eat it though!
