Hey, we know you're a backcountry skier, but if you happen to turn on the TV and watch a little World Cup once in a while, you'll notice how many of the top alpine skiers in the world use Leki poles. It's hard to argue with Leki's bomber construction and insane attention to detail, and the dependability of Leki's backcountry poles, found in these Leki Aergon 2 Adjustable Ski Poles, are perhaps even more important when you're miles from the trailhead. The Aergon 2 uses an HTS 6.5 aluminum 16 mm upper shaft and a 14 mm aluminum lower, held together by their impressive Speed Lock 2 fasteners. Dual density powder baskets, carbide tips and military spec Eloxal matte finishes mean durable good looks in the BC for years.
