Overview
Cascade Mountain Tech makes these trekking poles from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum at 10 ounces each, adjustable from 26 to 54 inches, with a cork grip, an extended EVA down grip and a full tip kit for different terrain.
Choosing aluminum over carbon fiber here trades a small weight increase for the dent resistance aluminum is generally known for. The extended EVA down grip is the notable design touch: it gives a second, lower hand position for steep climbs or descents without needing to readjust pole length mid-hike.
- 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, 10 oz per pole

Who it's for
Good for hikers who want a durable, mid-weight pole and like the option of a lower hand grip on steep terrain, rather than paying more for carbon fiber's weight savings.

Performance notes
Quick lock levers are built to hold position on rugged terrain without slipping, and the pole adjusts from 26 to 54 inches to suit different heights or slopes. The cork grip reduces vibration transmitted from uneven ground, while the extended EVA down grip below it adds a second hand hold for steep climbs. Included tungsten carbide tips plus rubber snow and mud baskets and tip covers cover most trail and season changes without buying extra parts.
