{"product_id":"amt-sqs-black","title":"AMT SQS Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Atomic AMT SQS Black is a fixed-length aluminum resort pole built for everyday all-mountain use. The shaft is 18mm 6061 T6 aluminum — a structural alloy grade that hits a practical sweet spot: stiff enough to feel planted when you punch a pole into firm morning groomers, tough enough to take a knock in lift lines without deforming, and light enough that a 120cm pole comes in around 250 grams. That's not ultralight, but it's honest resort weight — you won't feel the swing fatigue at the end of a long day the way you might with a heavier budget alloy. The dual-component AMT grip has a slight texture that keeps your hand settled without requiring a death grip, and the Essential Strap integrates Atomic's SQS (Safety Quick Release System): if the pole catches and loads up during a fall, the strap loop disconnects from the handle instantly under tension, rather than wrenching your wrist along for the ride. It re-clips in seconds when you're back on your feet. The 60mm piste basket is sized for groomed snow and packed conditions — functional in variable snow, but not built to float in deep powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pole is a straightforward match for intermediate to advanced resort skiers — someone who wants a reliable, no-fuss daily driver with a real safety strap system, not a piece of gear they have to think about. The SQS in particular is worth having if you ski fast, hit bumps, or have had a pole catch on you before. That said, if most of your days are spent in the backcountry or touring, this pole is not the right tool — it's fixed-length only, and the piste basket will sink and drag in deep or unconsolidated snow. And if you want the same all-mountain pole in a lighter package, Atomic's AMT Carbon SQS runs a carbon shaft and shaves a bit of swing weight off the alloy version — same SQS strap, same use case, just a step up in price. The AMT SQS Black earns its place as a durable, safety-conscious resort stick at an accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6061-T6 aluminum, 18mm shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSQS Safety Quick Release strap, 2K grip, 60mm piste basket, steel tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate-advanced (men's)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ATOMIC","offers":[{"title":"115","offer_id":49211051114791,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120","offer_id":49211051147559,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125","offer_id":49211051180327,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130","offer_id":51180411191591,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/AJ5005700.jpg?v=1727483558","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/amt-sqs-black","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
