Black Diamond says:
Move fast through mountainous terrain in comfort with the Pursuit. Ergonomic grip geometry and shape, with two grip sizes optimized for larger and smaller hands, make for more comfortable hand positions as well as reduces hand fatigue. Beyond the grip geometry, these poles are stacked other with comfort-focused features from cork grips to Bloom grip extensions, making them a premium option for any hiker. Natural cork grips manage moisture while extensions – made from Bloom, an algae infused foam – provide additional hand positions on steep ascents. Solution 2.0 wrist straps are made from post-consumer recycled fi bers. Other thoughtfully-designed features include a soft-touch FlickLock+ for quick and easy adjustments.
Our Verdict
These poles are very hard-wearing, I've been using them on some pretty challenging terrains, and they have held up brilliantly; I am confident to put my full weight on them.
The flick lock is very secure. However, should your lock start to slip, a tiny Allen key is inside the top section of the trekking pole, so you can tighten and adjust your lock on the trail. I have used these to support my shelter in some rough conditions, and they held the tent up without any issues, and I dint have to tighten them once.
The cork handles are comfortable in your hand's day-in-and-day-out; after two weeks of use (I took them on a coast-to-coast trip), I didn't suffer any blisters. I use hiking poles whenever I go hiking, especially with a heavy backpack. I never use the straps as they tend to irritate me. However, I found these comfortable and would ensure I put them on, especially when descending; they were supportive and comfortable.
They came attached with small tracking pole baskets that just about stop them from sliding into very narrow crevasses; they also come with large snow baskets, which I still need to try.
