    This product is for…

    Trail runners and long-distance hikers who want a lightweight, packable pole for big mountain days and races. Also suits climbers who need poles that stow away compactly once on route.

    Worth noting…

    One host (5'9") confirms 120 cm works well for them, useful as a fit reference. Notes flag these as a strong alternative for hikers who dislike wrist-strap gloves like those used with Leki poles.
