Cynch-Lok™ was developed with help from real pole climbers and features effortless adjustment and “cynches” around the pole during a “cut-out.” Cynch-Lok™ meets CSA Z59.14 standards for Type AB (dry, wet and icy poles) and allows you to easily hitch-hike poles (move or jump the strap upwards) with a hand position that’s comfortable. It also moves past obstacles without difficulty. Exterior straps can easily be swapped out in the field depending on pole size, eliminating the need for multiple systems.
