Know before you buy
This product is sold as a single trekking pole, designed for hikers who prefer the stability of one pole rather than a full pair.
The Outerlock system is designed for easy adjustments even when wearing gloves. Because the locking mechanism is external, it is generally easier to operate and less prone to freezing shut than internal twist-lock systems.
Yes. The pole includes interchangeable snow baskets, which prevent the shaft from sinking too deep into soft snow, making it suitable for winter use.
The extended grip allows you to 'choke up' on the pole when traversing steep sidehills or climbing switchbacks without needing to adjust the pole's length. The cork material naturally contours to your hand over time for a personalized fit.
Yes, the pole features a replaceable carbide tip. This ensures you can maintain traction on rocky or icy surfaces even after heavy use.
