ALPS Mountaineering Alliance Trekking Pole

This hybrid design balances weight and durability. The carbon fiber upper keeps the poles lightweight, while the aluminum lower section provides extra strength to resist snapping or bending if the tip gets wedged between rocks.

The fast-locking system is designed for quick, reliable adjustments without needing to twist or screw parts together. It holds securely under pressure, though it is always a good idea to check that the lever tension is set correctly before you start your hike.

Yes, they are versatile enough for different seasons. The set includes both standard and large baskets, with the large baskets providing the necessary flotation to keep your poles from sinking too deep into soft snow or mud.

The poles feature durable Tungsten Carbide tips, which are built to last a long time. While the tips themselves are fixed, the poles come with removable walking caps that you can use to protect the tips on pavement or when storing them in your pack.

When fully collapsed, the poles measure 24.5 inches. This length is compact enough to strap onto the side of most standard daypacks or backpacking packs when you need to stow them away.
