The K2 Power Aluminum ski poles in black are straightforward alpine poles: an 18 mm aluminium shaft, a rubber grip and a 60 mm basket. The one clever detail is the basket, which has notches so the pair nests together and carries as one.

• 18 mm aluminium shaft: bends rather than snaps, and straightens again.
• Rubber grip: grippier with a wet glove than a hard plastic grip.
• Basket: 60 mm performance basket with nesting notches, so the two poles clip together to carry.
• Lengths: from 44 to 54 inches, roughly 112 to 137 cm.
• Colourway and use: Black, for piste and all mountain use.
• Weight not published: K2 do not state a figure, so we do not quote one.
• Run out stock: K2 have dropped this pole from the current line in favour of the Style Aluminum.
