Take the pressure off during on-trail adventures, with the Trail Back Trekking Poles by Black Diamond.
Owed to an EVA foam grip, dual-density grip top, and nylon webbing strap with woven lining – these poles withstand wear and tear as your weapons on the walking trails. Lock your pole and rock ‘n roll, with FlickLock® adjustability. With a 7075-aluminum construction, their brute strength and high resistance to fatigue enable low-stress, no-pressure pacing for trekkers on the ascents. Trekking baskets offer a backstop on soft, frosted surfaces, while four-season flex tips provide prolonged protection from sunbaked boulders to snow-capped summits.
For dependability on the dips and slopes, the Black Diamond Trail Back Trekking Poles are a fixed trekking solution that sticks.

Could you let me know what the difference is between the Trail Back and the Trail poles from black diamond?
Mitchell - Sydney, NSW(12 months ago)
G'day Mitchell,
There are slight differences between these two. The Trail Back has an EVA foam grip, 4 season flex tips with trekking baskets included better suited for snow and packs down 2cm shorter.
The Trail poles have a softer rubber grip and interchangeable carbide Tech Tips with a 38mm Trekking Basket, the carbide Tech Tips are easily swapped for the rubber Tech Tips (sold separately).
They both have the same length adjustments from 100cm to 140cm and only a 2-gram difference in weight. The Trail Back is better suited to 4 season use although you can get separate Snow baskets for each pole.

4-season flex tips?1 answer
What are "4-season flex tips"? Do these come with caps for the steel ends?
Karina - Sydney, NSW(1 year ago)
G'day Karina,
The 4 season flex tips are a type of pole tip and this means they are suited for use in all terrains and seasons. They can be used as ski poles with the separately available Z-Pole Snow Basket which makes it a 4-season tip. They don't come with caps/protectors for the ends but you can get the Black Diamond Trekking Pole Tip Protectors separately which will fit.
