REI Peak UL Carbon Shocklight Trekking Poles - Pair

Now with carbon and Shocklight, the REI® Peak UL line contains some of the lightest, strongest trekking poles out there! Small-diameter carbon fiber creates ultralight poles that damp vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range. Shocklight shock absorbers weigh less than common spring-loaded poles and won't rattle within the shaft as you walk. Shock-absorbing poles reduce fatigue while improving stability; lock-out mechanism creates a rigid pole when needed for more efficient climbing. DuoLock™—an extra-strong internal locking mechanism—provides a big boost in performance. DuoLocks 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 and makes length adjustments easy. Three-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 55'' and compact to 27'' for easy storage and transport. Red ''stop'' ring indicates the maximum point to which poles should be extended. 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.
