Where to buy Atomic BCT Mountaineering SQS:
Evo
The Atomic BCT Mountaineering SQS adjustable poles are a game-changer for splitboarders. They make it easy to tweak your pole length on the fly and are easily packable.
These poles utilize a 5-section design that breaks down into a 40cm package when you’re not using them. The length-adjusting mechanism has also proven to be high quality and easy to use. They are also incredibly lightweight, thanks to the aluminum construction.
Now, let’s talk safety. In the backcountry, you never know what’s lurking under the snow, but these poles have your back. They come with SQS (S2 Quickslip System) tech, so if your pole gets caught or tangled, they pop off quickly to prevent faceplants and broken gear. The downside is that for a touring-specific pole, the basket size is a bit small.
So, in a nutshell, we highly recommend these poles for splitboarders who are looking to navigate the backcountry with ease and don’t mind paying a high price tag.
