Each pole includes an individual storage bag, a hiking basket for mud, and a rubber foot for use on paved surfaces. Dedicated snow baskets can be purchased separately.

Lightweight - The extreme comfort and durability do not require a compromise on weight. Each pole comes in at just 9 ounces, reducing arm fatigue and letting you get farther on the trail.

- The super-strong carbon fiber shaft material and 7075 aluminum alloy connectors create an incredibly strong and durable pole that will support you on countless adventures. The tungsten carbide tips and baskets provide great grip and durability. Finally, the tips can be easily replaced if they become worn.

Adjustable - The poles are easily adjusted, allowing them to always be at the ideal length.

How do I assemble my new trekking poles?

Please review this video for detailed assembly instructions. The video describes the process for our Tri-Fold Alloy UL trekking poles, but the assembly instructions for the Tri-Fold Carbon Cork trekking poles are exactly the same.

If you prefer written instructions that you can print at home and keep with you, you can find a set at this link.

How do I know which length is right for me?

To be completely sure which length is right for you, we recommend performing the following measurement: Stand with your elbow at a 90-degree angle and measure the vertical distance from the floor to the top of your hand. This length will be the ideal trekking pole length on level terrain. Compare the length that you measured to the two trekking pole lengths that we offer to figure out which would be more appropriate for you.

When should I be using the various tips that are provided?

We recommend using the bare tungsten carbide tips on natural trails. They will provide the best "bite" and support. The rubber tips are best for paved surfaces or very rocky terrain, where the carbide tips could slip and also wear prematurely. Finally, the trekking baskets are great for soft dirt, mud, or packed snow to prevent the trekking poles from sinking too far into the ground. We recommend dedicated snow baskets if you intend to snowshoe in deep powder.

Do you sell replacement parts, like rubber tips and trekking baskets?

Yes, we sell 4-packs of replacement rubber tips and trekking baskets. We also sell dedicated snowshoeing baskets that are larger and more flexible than the trekking baskets. Finally, we sell replacement bottom sections that can be swapped out if you wear out the carbide tungsten tips. You can find all of our trekking pole accessories here.

Can I bring my trekking poles in my carry-on?

We've never had any trouble bringing trekking poles in a carry-on and most customers have also reported doing this successfully. However, we hesitate to guarantee that you won't have any issues because every TSA agent is different and could implement different policies. As a result, we recommend that you're prepared to check the carry-on bag in the unlikely scenario that you're not allowed to bring the trekking poles onto the plane.
