Black Diamond Expedition Compactor Ski Poles
Built for splitboarders and backcountry riders who want poles that disappear in their pack, the Expedition Compactor features a stowable Z-pole design with removable lower shafts. It collapses small for the climb or ride down but extends quickly when you need stability on the skin track.
Length adjustments are simple and secure with FlickLock Pro mechanisms, and the pole doubles as a multi-tool with both a PH3 screwdriver bit and a 1.5 mm hex bit tucked inside the shafts for on-the-go repairs. The redesigned grip is all about function: extended EVA foam for multiple hand positions, a straight-edge scraper for clearing snow and ice, and a rubber “beak” for quick binding tweaks. Girth-hitch straps add support when you want them and can be removed in seconds when you don’t.
Durable 7075 aluminum construction, lightweight design, and a compact fold make these poles a reliable partner for touring missions where packability and versatility matter most.
