BCA Scepter Adjustable Aluminium Poles 2026

Adjustable touring poles with BCA’s scraper grip, releasable straps, and a tough aluminium build that’s made for real backcountry use, not just the carpark.

The BCA Scepter Adjustable Aluminium Pole 2026 is a two-piece touring pole designed for skiers and riders who want something light, durable, and genuinely useful in the backcountry. Built from 7075 aluminium, each pole comes in at around 293 g, giving you a solid, dependable shaft that can handle sidehilling, bootpacks, and pole plants without feeling like rebar. The signature Scraper Grip tops things off, with a flat scraper and utility hook that let you clear snow and ice from topsheets and skins, flip heel risers, and tweak bindings on the fly—saving energy on long climbs. A sprayed-on grip texture on the upper shaft mimics a choke-up foam extension without adding extra weight, and the releasable pole straps are designed to pop free if you snag or get involved in a slide, reducing the chance of being dragged by your poles.

• Adjustable touring length: Two-piece adjustable design lets you fine-tune pole length for skinning, bootpacks, and descents.
• 7075 aluminium shaft: Strong, durable alloy keeps weight low while standing up to real backcountry abuse.
• Scraper Grip with utility hook: Integrated scraper clears snow/ice from skis and skins, while the hook works on heel risers, boot levers, and tech bindings.
• Releasable straps: Safety-focused straps are designed to release under load in trees or avalanche terrain to reduce entanglement risk.
• Textured upper “foam” zone: Sprayed-on coating and EVA choke-up section provide extra grip for sidehilling without the bulk of a full foam sleeve.
• Multi-function basket: Concave basket shape bites in soft snow and helps hook risers or scrape, adding versatility without needing extra tools.
