REI Peak UL Carbon Compact Trekking Poles - Pair

These are the lightest, strongest trekking poles out there! Made for those up to 5'10'' who pursue minimalist backpacking and adventure racing. Small-diameter carbon fiber creates ultralight poles that damp vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range. Extra-strong DuoLocks™ provide a big boost in performance. DuoLocks—internal locking mechanisms—apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment. DuoLocks showed 50% more holding power than other locking mechanisms during REI lab tests. DuoLock's reliability enhances stability, eases length adjustments and offers a compelling reason to upgrade to Peak UL poles. Three-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 49 inches and compact to 24 inches for easy storage and transport. Ultralight EVA foam grips with an ergonomic, contoured shape and adjustable padded neoprene wrist straps provide miles of comfort. Fitted with vario trekking disks and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; rubber tip protectors included. These compact poles accommodate persons with small hands and short stature.
