Sometimes affordable ski poles get a bad rap for bending and breaking on tough ski terrain. That isn't the case for these Triton Ski Poles from Scott. These poles feature lightweight S2 aluminum alloy shafts rated to 45000 PSI so it resists bends far better than a lot of those other no-name discount poles found in a clearance bargain bin. The Triton also features dual-density P-lite grips to ergonomically fit ski gloves and mittens. Just above the hardened steel dish tip you'll find Scott's 3.6 disc basket an aerodynamically-enhanced design with a smaller diameter than Scott's powder disc ski poles.
