Burly freeride poles with S3 safety straps and grippy rubber handles for charging steep lines.

The Salomon Steep Pro S3 Ski Poles are made for freeskiers who want reliability when the terrain gets serious. Built around a tough 18 mm aluminium shaft, they feel solid in the hand without being cumbersome, giving you the confidence to lean on them in chutes, on traverses and through chopped-up snow. A dual-material S3 grip and extended rubber sleeve give plenty of secure hold whether you are skating to the lift or choking down for a steep side-hill. Salomon’s S3 safety strap is designed to release under heavy load, helping reduce the risk of getting tangled up in a big crash, while freeride baskets and standard tips keep things versatile for everything from resort laps to quick bootpacks.

• 18 mm aluminium shaft: Sturdy oversized tubing stands up to impacts and hard charging without feeling overly heavy.
• S3 dual-material grip: Comfortable handle combines firm support with a tacky feel for reliable hold in gloves.
• Rubber grip extension: Extended sleeve on the upper shaft lets you choke down easily on traverses and steep bootpacks.
• S3 safety release strap: Auto-release wrist strap is designed to pop free under high force to reduce injury risk.
• Freeride baskets: Interchangeable, wide baskets give better support when you dip into softer or deeper snow.
• Standard carbide tip: Durable tip bites into firm snow and ice for secure pole plants all over the mountain.
