K2 Triax Ski Poles 2012: Top of the line, just like your skiing, the K2 Triax Ski Poles are ready to out-perform your wildest expectations. Built with TRIAX Carbon Technology, creating a stiffer, lighter pole and with a new Dual Durometer grip for additional control, the K2 Triax Ski Poles are the most advanced poles out there.
Shaft
The K2 Triax Ski Poles are built with TRIAX Carbon Technology, using the controlled process of winding 100% carbon unidirectional fibers at a 60 degree angle around the outside of the shaft. The external TRIAX fibers reinforce and control the uni-directional fibers of the pole to create a more durable and stiff shaft. The K2 Triax Ski Poles feature a thinner 14mm shaft that is stiffer and lighter than any of K2’s other poles.
Grip
Dual Durometer grip has a small profile core that is over molded with a thicker, softer outer layer that allows for a comfortable secure feel. The Top of the grip features a dome shaped urethane badge that remains comfortable when top- palming the grip.
Straps
In-grip strap adjustment is easy to adjust and uses an internal cam lock that adjusts by simply pulling on the top strap to loosen and pulling on the lower strap tail to tighten.
Baskets
Powder and hard--snow baskets
