{"product_id":"trail-vista-shock-trekking-poles","title":"Black Diamond Trail Vista Shock Trekking Poles","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf long descents leave your knees, elbows or wrists complaining, this is the pole that does something about it. There is a shock system built in under the grip that soaks up the jolt at the moment the tip hits rock, and over a thousand-metre descent that adds up to a lot of impact you did not take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWhat the shock actually does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery pole plant sends a spike up the shaft into your hand. The Vista Shock puts a damping element between the tip and your palm, so the spike arrives as a push instead. Hidden under the grip and the extension, so there is nothing to adjust and nothing sticking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCork grips and hand positions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural cork-wrapped grips manage moisture and shape to your hand, and the foam extension gives you a second place to hold on a steep ascent. Black Diamond's grip geometry angles the top to sit naturally in the palm rather than square to the shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho this suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalkers coming back from a knee or wrist injury, anyone carrying a heavy pack downhill, and people who simply want to finish a big descent feeling less beaten up. The trade is a few extra grams for the mechanism, and it buys real comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e548 g the pair\u003c\/strong\u003e (274 g per pole).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in shock system beneath the grip and extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural cork-wrapped ergonomic grips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam grip extension for steep ascents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlickLock adjustment across 100-140 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully lined Variwidth straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Black Diamond","offers":[{"title":"Deep Woods","offer_id":45541761843309,"sku":"BD1125613062ALL1","price":330.89,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Mauve","offer_id":45541761876077,"sku":"BD1125616048ALL1","price":345.49,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/1708\/1197\/files\/black-diamond-trekking-poles-deep-woods-black-diamond-trail-vista-shock-trekking-poles-1256187137.webp?v=1788043211","url":"https:\/\/ozbackcountry.co.nz\/products\/trail-vista-shock-trekking-poles","provider":"Oz Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
