We love the Black Crow Duos Freebird ski poles for their ability to get the job done for the right price. These poles range from 110-140cm, making them highly adjustable, and they sport a fantastic 38mm foam extension grip.
For an aluminum pole, we found the Duos to be strong and durable yet natural on both the up and downhill. These held up in rough conditions, and the baskets performed well in powder, while the tip excelled in hard-pack snow. These are also a fairly regular weight, at 0.55 lbs.
If you are looking for high-quality touring poles and don’t want to break the bank, the Dous Freebird is the pole for you. It may not be the lightest or the strongest on the market, but it is the clear winner when it comes to the best bang for your buck.
