The FR Vario Carbon is a premium touring ski pole to get you safely up and down the mountain. The upper shaft is made of top quality 7075 aluminum, and the lower shaft is ultralight, stable carbon with an Aramid ski edge protector. The length of this telescoping pole can be easily adjusted so you can match it to the steepness of your ascent. The ergonomic touring grip provides reliable traction in any situation and helps you reduce risk of injury with its quick-release Safety Strap. The FR Vario Carbon also features an EVA grip extension so you can also grasp the pole comfortably lower down. Baskets are easy to swap as needed.
