The BCA Scepter Aluminum Poles are adjustable, light, and durable for the all-around mainstream backcountry skier. The Backcountry Access Scraper Grip is designed to be secure and comfortable while keeping your skis snow-free. Subtly on the grip, you will find the utility hook which makes for an effective binding and boot adjustment while on your excursion- a small yet very functional detail. The upper shaft features a sprayed-on coating for grip texture. With such, this product is as practical as a full foam grip without the weight, giving these Sceptor Aluminum Poles the lightest choke-up grip possible.FAQ: How do you adjust the straps on BCA Scepter poles?The straps are mounted to the pole grip with a cam that rotates around that fixed pin. When you pull up sharply on the strap, the cam rotates off the pin and releases. There is no screw fastening the strap to the grip like there was in the previous generation (those straps didn’t release). To put the strap back on the grip, put the black plastic cam back in place, and push on the lowest part of the plastic. The first few times it helps to place it against a hard surface when pushing.FEATURES: Weight: 10.3 oz / 293 g (single pole) Length: Adjustable 105 cm - 145 cm Tip: Carbide Basket: BCA Multi-function Strap: Adjustable woven Grip: BCA Scraper Grip with releasable strap Shaft: 7075 aluminum
