Atomic's AMT SQS packs in a whole lot of features for a pole at this price point. The 4* 18mm shaft is made from 6061 grade aluminium which is tough and hardwearing. The AMT ergonomic M-fit grip is designed for medium/large hands and has specially designed ridges giving greater control for all mountain skiing; being made from a dual density material ensures all-day comfort and durability. Best of all is Atomic's Safety Quick Release System (SQS) which allows the strap to separate from the pole when it comes under high tension, helping to prevent wrist injuries. The premium padded strap is fully adjustable for individual personalisation and the 60mm piste baskets are perfect for general skiing. The steel tips are suitable for all snow types, digging into ice in tougher conditions.General InformationHandle: ergonomic AMT - Grip (2K)Strap: SQS Shaft: 18mm 6061 AluminiumBasket: 60mmTip: SteelWeight: 260g (125cm) [Full Details]
