Swix has reinvented the XC ski pole and created the next<br />
generation of ski poles: Swix Triac®!<br />
The Swix Triac® 1.0 is built with the most advanced materials<br />
and technology available today. Starting from scratch, we<br />
have utilized both internal and external resources; Swix racing<br />
service, world cup athletes, university research teams, and our<br />
own engineering department to develop the world’s finest ski<br />
pole. Every detail has been thoroughly reviewed and tested<br />
before being placed into production.<br />
When only the very best will do, there is no room for<br />
compromise.<br />
