G'day Jason,

You've got a couple of choices for tips on this particular model. You could look at the tiny, screw on rubber Tech Tip but you'll need a small pair of pliers like a Leatherman tool. If you want a more durable option that's quicker to take on and off I'd suggest grabbing the rubber Trekking Pole Tip Protectors. These can just be pulled off by hand and require no tools. 

G'day Ben,

The only difference between the men and women Black Diamond Trail Pro Shock Trekking Poles is that the women's handle is a little shorter and they are different colours. That's it.

G'day Luke,

Are you able to be a little more specific about which Original Trail Shock Poles you're referring to? Do you have a time period I can work with?

G'day Luke,

This is a tough one as I can't obtain much information on the specifications from 2010. However, from my research, the upgrades appear to include improvements to the double flicklock pole adjustment mechanism, reinforced control shock technology and the interchangeable wavelock tech tips.

G'day Jason,

Unfortunately, the Black Diamond Trail Pro Shock Poles don't include powder baskets. The only Trekking Poles to come with them included are as you noted, the model below - the Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles. However, we can make an enquiry with Black Diamond if you like to see if we can obtain them as a spare part?
