Adjustable poles allow the user to shorten the poles for descents and lengthen for touring.
The poles can also be adjusted for traversing, with the uphill pole shortened and the downhill pole lengthened. Most of the Life-Link poles can also be joined together to form an avalanche probe, a must for finding a buried skier. Grip Adjustable straps are attached to quick release clips. Wrist straps are designed to detach from the grip in the event a pole becomes inadvertently lodged in an obstacle. Over-molded grip features a soft, comfortable outer layer over a strong, durable, rigid core.
