Backland FR Ski Poles

The Power Lock mechanism allows you to easily adjust the length of your ski poles to suit different terrains and skiing styles. Once adjusted, it securely locks the pole in place, preventing it from collapsing while you ski. This reliability is crucial for maintaining stability and control on the slopes.

The FR Grip is specifically designed for freeride skiing, providing a comfortable and secure hold. This grip allows for better maneuverability and control, especially in challenging off-piste conditions. With a solid grip, you can confidently navigate through varied terrains without worrying about losing your hold on the pole.

The QRS allows you to quickly detach your ski poles from your wrists, enhancing both convenience and safety. In situations where you need to drop your poles quickly—like when navigating tricky terrain or taking a fall—the QRS lets you do so without fumbling with buckles or knots, allowing for a smoother skiing experience.

Carbide tips are made from a durable material that provides excellent grip and traction on hard-packed snow and ice. This feature is essential for maintaining stability and control while skiing, especially in icy conditions. Choosing poles with carbide tips ensures you can confidently tackle various surfaces without slipping.

Powder baskets are wide, circular attachments at the bottom of ski poles that prevent them from sinking too deeply into soft, powdery snow. With a diameter of 97mm, these baskets help you maintain balance and leverage in deep snow conditions, making them essential for backcountry skiing where such conditions are common.

To determine the right length, stand upright and hold the pole upside down with the tip on the ground. Your elbow should form a 90-degree angle when you grip the pole just under the basket. If the angle is too sharp or too wide, you may need to adjust the length of your poles. Proper length ensures better control and comfort while skiing.
