The XTA 5.5 Junior is a perfect pole for young cross country skiers. Made of high-strength aluminum, this sturdy and slim one-piece pole has a 14 mm shaft diameter and is so light, you almost don't notice it. The cool Trigger Shark 2.0 system ensures quick release of the strap and grip. So you can take your hand off the pole in a flash. The anatomically shaped and infinitely adjustable strap encloses your hand, while the cork-surfaced grip provides support when pushing.
