MSR DynaLock Ascent Carbon Backcountry Poles

The MSR DynaLock Ascent Carbon Backcountry Poles pair carbon-fibre shafts with MSR's DynaLock lever-lock adjustment system, sold in 120 cm and 140 cm fixed-length versions rather than one telescoping pole covering the whole range. Carbon keeps swing weight down compared with aluminium shafts, which matters most on long days or fast movement over rolling terrain. Beyond the shaft material and the two length options, MSR doesn't publish further specifics here, so anyone comparing basket size, grip material or packed length should check current product listings before buying.
