Overview
Hikers who want adjustable aluminum poles get a pair with lever locks for setting length on the trail. Each pole collapses for packing, wears a trekking basket and a flexible tip, and uses an Aergon grip that shapes to the hand over time.
Lever locks make length changes quick on climbs and descents, and aluminum shafts tolerate knocks on rough ground. The listing names a compact and a standard size in the same breath, so the exact length range of the shipped pair needs checking.
Who it's for
Day hikers and trekkers who switch pole length between uphill and downhill stretches will use the lever locks constantly. Ultralight backpackers chasing the lowest pack weight should consider other materials.
Pros and cons
- Lever locks adjust length without twisting
- Aluminum shafts handle rough use
- Grip conforms to hand shape
- Sold as a pair
- Listing mixes compact and standard lengths
- Standard version weight lacks a unit
- Grip needs time to conform
Performance notes
Holding power depends on the lever locks being clamped firmly, so check them before loading the poles on descents. The Cor-Tec grip molds to the hand with use, which means comfort improves over the first outings. The flexible tip and trekking basket govern how the pole bites on dirt and loose ground.
