Adjusts 62–135 cm
Kids to tall adults, and quick to shorten for climbs.
Aluminium
Bends rather than snaps if you jam it in rocks.
Lever locks
Easy to set with cold or gloved hands.
Choosing trekking poles
Poles take weight off your knees on the way down and steady you on creek crossings and loose ground.
Z-fold
Folds into three like a tent pole and packs short, so it fits inside a pack or on its side. Fixed length, or a small adjustment range.
TelescopicThis one
Slides to length with a lock, so one pair suits several people and every slope. Longer when packed.
Length
With the tip on the ground next to your foot, your elbow should be at about a right angle. Shorten them for climbs, lengthen for descents.
Carbon or aluminium
Carbon is lighter and damps vibration. Aluminium is heavier but bends rather than snaps if you fall on it.
For a trekking-pole tent
Check the pole height the tent needs, usually 115 to 135 cm, and that your poles lock at that length.
Use the straps
Hand up through the strap, then grip. The strap takes your weight, so you don't have to squeeze.
The numbers
Taken from the maker's own listing and spec cards for this exact model; anything marked our guide is ours. Where the maker doesn't publish something, the line is left out rather than guessed.
