Black Diamond Trail Vista Shock Trek Poles - Aluminum, EVA Grip, FlickLock, Control Shock, 100-140 cm, Dark

Where most trekking poles transfer every rock and root straight into your wrists, the Black Diamond Trail Vista Shock integrates Control Shock Technology to actively absorb impact, reducing fatigue on long descents and keeping your joints fresher for the miles ahead. This is the pole for hikers who want reliable support without the harsh feedback of a rigid shaft.

Highlights

• Control Shock Technology: internal spring absorbs impact for smoother hiking
• FlickLock® adjustability: secure, glove-friendly length changes from 100 to 140 cm
• Durable aluminum shaft: three sections collapse to 62 cm for easy packing
• EVA foam grip with Solution Strap: comfortable, moisture-wicking, made from recycled materials
• Interchangeable carbide Tech Tips and low-profile trekking baskets: adapt to terrain and season

In daily use

On rolling trails or steep, rocky descents, the shock absorber softens each pole plant, letting you maintain rhythm without jarring your arms. The EVA foam grip stays comfortable even when sweaty, and the Solution Strap distributes pressure across your wrist, so you can relax your grip on long approaches. When the trail flattens out, a quick flip of the FlickLock lets you shorten the poles for uphill pushes or lengthen them for descents—no tools, no fuss. The aluminum construction shrugs off scrapes and accidental drops, while the compact collapsed length means they strap easily to your pack when you need both hands free.
