Alpina's Pioneer poles adapt to every backcountry day
The Alpina Pioneer Adj ski poles use an aircraft-grade aluminum 7075 shaft built to hold up to serious backcountry use without adding unnecessary weight. Adjustable length adapts the pole to different terrain and skiing styles across a single day out, and a cork grip paired with an XC Comfort strap keeps the hold warm and secure. A wide XC BC basket floats in deep snow, and a carbide tip bites into icy conditions when traction matters most.

This combination makes the poles well suited to variable backcountry conditions.How do the cork grip and XC Comfort strap perform on the Alpina Pioneer Adj Ski Poles?
