The Komperdell Carbon C3 Pro Trekking Pole is fully adjustable, 3-section pole that delivers stability on the trail that delivers a low weight at under 16 ounces per pair. Komperdell is a trusted name in poles and delivers a high-quality product. They deliver everything a long-distance hiker needs. Let's dig into the details. The top two sections are the pole are made of carbon fiber which is why they achieve such a low weight. The lower section of the pole which sees the majority of abuse is made of Titanal, which is a high-tech material that's stands up to scrapes, chips and over all abuse much better than Carbon. The tip is a Tungsten/Carbide flex tip, which bites into dirt trails, snow and ice for great traction and stability. The part of the tip can also flex and bend without damaging the lower shaft of the pole. Not all poles can do this, and it goes a long way in helping with durability and longevity of your trekking poles. Baskets are replaceable and have the option to upgrading (Sold separately) to a wider basket specifically designed for deep snow conditions. Everything stays locked tight and are fully adjustable thanks to a Powerlock 3.0 mechanism which can be adjusted in the fly in seconds with a flip of a switch. The Komperdell Carbon C3 Pro Trekking Pole has everything you need and nothing that you don’t to achieve all of your trekking adventures.
