Head Frontside Ski Poles

The Head Frontside poles are built from 5083 aluminium with an 18 mm shaft diameter, offering a balance of strength and low weight for everyday skiing. The performance grip delivers reliable comfort and control in your hand, whilst the automatic strap is designated left and right for a customised fit that won't slip during your run.

Why we rate it

These are straightforward, no-nonsense poles that do what they're meant to. The race basket cuts through snow efficiently, and the star metal tip grips hard snow and ice so you stay stable when planting. At this weight and price point, they're honest kit: not flashy, just dependable.

Who it's for

Any adult skier who wants poles that work on the piste without fuss. They're not specialist touring poles or powder-specific, but they suit intermediate to advanced skiers who ski most days on the slope.
