CarbonLong is a 3-section trekking pole that extends to 150 cm and weighs just 215 grams.

They're lightweight, easily adjustable, incredibly sturdy, and ace for hike-thrus and long-distance trails. Constructed from carbon fibre, CarbonLong is highly corrosion resistant and durable, with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The EVA foam handles absorb less water than other materials, making them ideal for those not-so-fine weather days.

What they do absorb is shock and vibration – making them super comfy on long treks and effective in injury prevention. The CarbonLong is available in two different grip options: Regular and Extended. The Extended length grips allow you to hold the pole further down when the slope steepens.

The CarbonLong has a stiff and durable tungsten tip to increase grip and avoid slipping on hard and rocky surfaces. It also comes with a rubber tip and trekking basket, so you can change your setup according to the terrain.
