From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Contour Elliptic (Spring 2008) Equally adept on snow, dirt and rock, the new Contour Elliptic by Black Diamond is a strong, versatile, high-mileage pole built for comfortable and secure navigation across variable terrain. Thanks to its elliptic shaft, the pole has twice the fore and aft stiffness of round-shafted poles. For increased comfort, the Contour Elliptic features a 15-degree corrective angle, 360-degree padded webbing, and ergonomic ovalized foam grip. The pole s dual FlickLock adjustment is efficient and simple to operate even with gloves on ?in the dark ?in a rainstorm ?with 40-mph wind gusts. On the business end, the pole comes outfitted with Long Flex Tips and easy-to-swap-out trekking and powder baskets for year-round hiking versatility. The Compact is a shorter, 125 cm version with reduced grip size for smaller hands."

From RockCreek:
"The Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Poles are made for supporting your body and weight when trekking or hiking. Made to be super easy-to-use, as well as a comfortable pole offering year-round versatility. They now come equipped with BD's new 360-degree padded webbing for all-day comfort. An excellent value with glove-friendly dual FlickLocks, and a non-slip foam grip with lower extension for choking down on steeper terrain. Also equipped with a Long Flex Tip, and both a low-profile, non-snagging trekking basket and a winter-specific powder basket for those long winter skiing trips or hikes."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Trekking Poles' oval-shaped shafts increase rigidity, durability, and allow faster setup than standard round-stock poles. Not one to do things half way, Black Diamond also added forward-leaning ergonomic grips and plush dual-density straps to make your time on the trail as comfortable as possible. The Contour Elliptic Trekking Poles' FlickLock system ensures fast, secure adjustments, so you can concentrate on hiking and not worry about anything else."
