Komperdell Carbon C3 Pro

The hybrid construction balances performance and durability. The carbon upper sections keep the swing weight low to reduce fatigue, while the titanal lower section provides the necessary strength to withstand impacts against rocks and uneven terrain.

Yes, the poles are designed for year-round use. They feature an interchangeable basket system that allows you to swap out the standard trekking baskets for larger snow baskets when you head into winter conditions.

The extended grip allows you to quickly choke up on the pole when navigating steep ascents or side-hilling. This saves you from having to stop and adjust the pole length every time the trail gradient changes.

The poles utilize a robust aluminum lever lock system. It is designed to be secure and easy to operate even while wearing gloves, providing a reliable hold that won't slip under pressure.

No, these poles do not have built-in shock absorption. They are designed for hikers who prefer a direct, stiff feel for maximum stability and power transfer on technical terrain.

When fully collapsed, the poles measure 26.38 inches. While they are compact for a three-section pole, you should check your specific airline's carry-on dimensions, as they may be too long for some smaller overhead bins.
