The Trail Vista Shock is a four-season trekking pole with integrated shock-absorbing technology for added comfort and cushioning on any hike. Designed for ergonomic support and impact reduction, its’ compact three-piece construction is perfect for hikers seeking stability and ease on varied terrain.
like ergonomic cork grips and foam grip extensions, plus our uniquely designed, streamlined shock, the Trail Vista Shock provides max cushioning without compromising performance. These poles are a great option for hikers looking to reduce fatigue and impact on joints. Black Diamond’s proprietary grip geometry and shape make for more comfortable hand positions as well as reducing hand fatigue. Natural cork-wrapped grips manage moisture while extensions provide additional hand positions on steep ascents. Hidden beneath the grip and the grip extension is a shock system that dampens vibrations to help reduce joint impact.

"I’ve been able to use these on hikes just 4 weeks post-surgery on my wrist without pain. The cork grip and shock absorption feature makes these both functional and comfortable. They’re light to hold when not using as well."
"It had been 25 years since I last purchased trekking poles. The locking mechanism had changed, for the better. The poles collapsed to a smaller length, better. The adjustable straps on the grips are now much easier to adjust. . . . I hope the adjustability feature lasts a long time. The only change that I am not positive about, is that the grips themselves, all seem to be smaller in diameter and less ergonomic as a result. I prefer my old squishier, foam grips over these new, harder, cork grips. Overall, I give these a high score, but the grips need to be a tad bigger."
