Designed for demanding ski touring enthusiasts, "Alain's Poles" are made for ski touring! They are free of unnecessary weight, without compromising on reliability, and with the efficiency needed to tackle long days in the mountains.
Long 70cm grip: efficiency on slopes
Alain's poles are equipped with continuous foam over 70 cm , offering a comfortable and precise grip along the entire length of the pole.
When going uphill, this allows you to instantly adapt your grip according to the slope's incline, without having to change the pole's length.
A real advantage in conversions, crossings, and sustained elevation changes.
❌ No wrist strap: a deliberate choice for safety
No wrist strap intentionally.
In ski touring, a fall, avalanche or a pole getting stuck can cause injuries if the hand gets caught.
The absence of a wrist strap makes the activity safer , especially in alpine terrain.
🔩 Single strand: stronger, more reliable
The poles are not telescopic .
This simple choice enhances their rigidity , durability and resistance to the stresses of the mountain.
Fewer parts, less risk of play or breakage, more confidence going uphill as well as downhill.
Ultra-lightweight: the advantage that really counts!
