The Black Diamond Traverse Compactor Ski Poles are designed for backcountry adventurers, splitboarders, and snowshoers who need durable, packable poles for winter excursions. Their key benefit is the innovative folding Z-Pole technology combined with robust aluminum construction and winter-specific features, allowing them to pack down small for easy travel. A potential caveat is their specific size range (125-135cm), which may not suit all users.

The Black Diamond Traverse Compactor Ski Poles are available in a size range of 125 cm to 135 cm.
Use the FlickLock Pro levers on the poles. Open the lever, slide the shaft to your desired length, and firmly close the lever to secure it.
While durable, these poles are optimized for winter use with features like the snow-clearing edge. For general summer hiking, other Black Diamond pole models might be more suitable.
All Black Diamond products, including these ski poles, are covered by a two-year warranty policy.
The Z-Pole technology allows them to fold into a very compact package, ideal for fitting into luggage or backpacks for travel.
An integrated PH3 screwdriver is built into the pole's shaft, designed to fit FlickLock mechanisms and most common ski binding adjustment screws.
Wipe the poles with a damp cloth after each use to remove snow and debris. Ensure FlickLock Pro mechanisms are clean and dry. Store in a dry place.
Ensure the FlickLock Pro levers are fully closed and that the pole sections are clean and free of debris. If debris is present, clean the inner and outer shafts and try again.
Check for ice or dirt buildup within the mechanism. Gently tap the lever or use a soft brush to clear any obstructions. Avoid forcing the lever.
The integrated screwdriver is intended for occasional light use. For frequent or heavy-duty use, consider carrying a separate multi-tool. Contact customer support if the damage affects pole functionality.
Ensure the grip surface is clean and dry. The dual-shot rubber provides optimal grip when clean. If wear is evident, it may indicate the need for replacement, though this is rare with proper care.
Setup:
These poles are designed for immediate use. To deploy, extend the sections until they lock into place. Adjust the length using the FlickLock Pro levers to your preferred setting, ensuring the levers are securely closed. The size range is fixed between 125 cm and 135 cm.
Compatibility:
The poles are compatible with most ski touring bindings and general winter gear, particularly those using standard screw types. The integrated PH3 screwdriver is designed to fit common binding adjustment screws and FlickLock mechanisms. The utility hook is specifically designed for heel riser adjustments on ski touring bindings.
Care:
After each use, especially in snowy or icy conditions, wipe down the poles with a damp cloth to remove snow, ice, and debris. Ensure the FlickLock Pro mechanisms are clean and free of grit to maintain their locking integrity. Store the poles fully collapsed in a dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture when stored. For the aluminum shaft, a mild soap and water solution can be used for cleaning if necessary, followed by thorough drying. Periodically check the screwdriver tip for wear.
