Overview
These are 100% carbon fiber trekking poles from Hiker Hunger Outfitters, weighing 7.6 ounces each, with cork and EVA foam grips, flip-lock adjustment and a length range of 24 to 55 inches for hikers of different heights.
The brand pitches these as a lighter alternative to aluminum poles, pointing to the flip-lock lever mechanism and metal locking hardware as sturdier than twist locks or plastic parts. The listing leans on brand story, including years in business and phone support, rather than hard testing data, so the carbon fiber weight and lock design are the concrete facts worth weighing.
- 100% 3k carbon fiber, 7.6 oz per pole
- Cork grip with EVA foam extension
- Metal flip-lock adjustment
- Adjustable length from 24 to 55 inches
Who it's for
Aimed at hikers and backpackers who want to shave weight off aluminum poles and are willing to pay more for carbon fiber. Also marketed toward shorter or taller hikers thanks to the wide 24 to 55 inch adjustment range.

Performance notes
Carbon fiber construction keeps each pole to 7.6 ounces, meant to reduce the energy cost of long days on trail compared to heavier aluminum poles. The flip lock levers use metal rather than plastic parts, positioned as more secure than twist-lock designs that can slip under load. Cork grips with an EVA foam extension and padded straps aim to reduce hand fatigue and chafing on long stretches.
