Ski poles are one of the most important and overlooked pieces of equipment in the sport of skiing. They can make a difference between breaking through from one ability level to the next, and a paramount in differentiating advanced and expert level skiers. Proper pole plants keep you balanced, particularly on the steeps and in bumps, and are the gateway to explosive, fall line skiing. The Rossignol Tactic Poles are an all-mountain unisex pole, that are strong, solid and durable and will stand up to lots of use and abuse. Made up of an Aluminum shaft and a steel tip, their strength to weight ratio is excellent. And tipping the scales at 260 grams, they offer great swing weight too. The feature that stands out the most about the Tactic is its patented Safety Grip technology. This allows skiers to quickly and easily release their poles in the event of a fall, getting caught in avalanche or if your pole becomes wedges between a rock or snagged under a branch. A sharp up and down movement is all that is required to release the wrist strap from the handle to protect the skier, usually from a broken thumb or wrist. An Active, highly adjustable strap makes on-fly-adjustments easy even with mittens on. if you are looking for a solid, reliable pole with a great safety feature, look no further than the Rossignol Tactic Ski Poles.
