Foxelli Aluminum Trekking Poles with Cork Grips

Overview

A pair of collapsible aircraft-grade aluminum trekking poles from Foxelli with cork grips and quick flip locks, adjustable from 24 to 54 inches to fit a wide range of user heights.

Foxelli's flip-lock system covers a wider 24 to 54 inch range than many collapsible poles, wide enough to fit most adult heights without swapping parts. At 9.4 oz per pole and a 21 inch packed length, the pair leans toward backpackers counting ounces rather than hikers wanting maximum length. Cork grips are the comfort choice here, molding to hand shape with use rather than staying rigid the way foam does.

• 24 to 54 inch flip-lock adjustment
• 9.4 oz per pole
• Anti-slip cork grip handles
• Tungsten carbide tips included

Who it's for

Hikers and backpackers who want one pair of poles to fit multiple household members, and who prefer cork grips over foam. Less suited to anyone specifically wanting a carbon fiber shaft.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The flip locks extend and retract the aluminum sections without a twisting motion, which tends to hold up better in cold or wet conditions than twist locks. Tungsten carbide tips bite into dirt and rock, and the included all-terrain accessories extend that to snow and pavement. Cork grips wick sweat and shape to the hand over repeated use, backed by an EVA foam extended sleeve for choking up on climbs.
