Our most affordable elliptic pole, the Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Trekking Pole is equally adept on snow, dirt, rock and any other trail surface you'll encounter. The elliptic shafts provide added strength and stability, while the double FlickLock adjustments allow for total customization depending on the incline or trail condition. The pole also features our interchangeable carbide Tech Tips, which can easily be switched out for our rubber Tech Tips (sold separately) for changing trail surfaces.

The Contour Elliptic is ideal for most individuals, however many women will find the Contour Elliptic Compact to be more comfortable, with a slightly smaller grip and shorter length.

Very sturdy poles, and rock-solid locking mechanisms. I do not find them heavy. In fact they weigh less than my anti-shock "ultralights" from another MFR. Handy that they come with an extra set of snow bales. Great product.

I use these for summits and regular trekking. The weight is light, and they are solid. I took a hard stumble, and they saved me from a face-plant. The locks remained locked, but the bottom of the poles bent a bit (slight curve). Hint: to fix a bent pole remove the offending part. Fill it with sand, and bend it back into shape with your hands. Good as new... you might want to dump the sand out before re-assembling ;-)

These poles are very nice. The flip lock makes adjusting or breaking down and setting up a breeze. The elliptical shape of the tubes gives the poles much more strength than a standard round design without adding noticeably to the weight or size. This is nice when carrying a large pack in high winds or over rough terrain. I too disagree about them being bulky. I wear a size large glove, so unless you are wearing mitts or have hands like a bear I think they will be fine.

These are great poles, simple to use, no hassle flip lock, I don't spend the time twisting and twisting my poles to lock them in place. I disagree with the other comment about these being too bulking, unless you have 1 inch fingers. Have used them for about 6 months and the best poles I have bought

If your looking for an all-around pole these are not it. They are definitely heavy duty and therefore are too heavy for 90% of hiking and for me backcountry skiing. Also, the grips are too bulky for gloves.
