Packed with comfort-focused features like ergonomic cork grips and Bloom grip extensions, plus our uniquely designed, streamlined shock, the Pursuit Shock is a premium pole option for any hiker. BD proprietary grip geometry and shape, with two grip sizes optimized for larger and smaller hands, make for more comfortable hand positions as well as reduces hand fatigue. Natural cork grips manage moisture while extensions – made from Bloom, an algae infused foam – provide additional hand positions on steep ascents. Hidden beneath the grip and the grip extension is a newly designed shock system that dampens vibrations to help reduce joint pain. Also included are Solution 2.0 wrist straps, made from post-consumer recycled fibers, and a thoughtfullydesigned, soft-touch FlickLock for quick and easy adjustments
