The G3 Pivot Poles for the backcountry feature unbeatable packability and strength, making these the best poles for split boarding and backcountry travel. PIVOT poles wrap around the handle and lock into place when packed, making it extremely easy to fit in your backpack or attach to the outside. This nesting feature gives a secure finish when packed, which is ideal for split boarders as well as for travel.
They are specially engineered with aluminum for strength and flexibility. Splitboarders were kept in mind during the design of these poles since they have different needs in regards to bindings and transitions when skinning. The extended utility tab at the nose is the perfect tool for manipulating your bindings on the move with a shape that allows for the pushing or pulling specific to split board bindings. For some bindings, it may be easier to use the basket to do this, so the PIVOT basket is designed to help you do it and keep you moving.
The grip on these poles is extremely versatile, featuring extended foam and yellow rings along the shaft that makes it super easy to select more than one hand position when traversing. The rings also speed up transitions by giving something to pull against when locking the pole into place. Bonus: these grips are super soft and comfortable!
