The Contour StiX2 Touring Poles combine everything that makes a perfect ski touring pole. The soft grip with an extended handle ensures secure handling even in wet conditions, and the ultralight, detachable wrist strap provides a comfortable feel, even without gloves. Inspired by the aircraft industry, StiX by Contour are made from ultra-light, super-strong T6 aluminum and feature a flex tip with carbide (98 Rockwell) for easy use of climbing aids with all bindings, whether it's ski touring, splitboarding, or snowshoeing.
