<\/p>\n

With my new Hilleberg Anaris<\/a> tent being a trekking pole tent I noticed my other trekking poles were about 15 years old. So why not lighten up and refresh my gear. Plus my wife and I fight over them in the winter, so that problem is now solved. After some research I ended up with Zpacks Carbon Trekking Poles and I think they are pretty darn good. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing I notice was how the locking levers did not require a ton of force, unlike my old ones. They just snap closed. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

They have very easy to read height indicators, which is key for a well balanced tent \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And I got the cork handle, but I dig the extended handle which is good for grabbing in really rocky terrain. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And they store quite small. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So yeah light weight and sturdy at $99, which is an unbelievable price. Get a pair if you need some new trekking poles. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tackle peaks and valleys alone, always take a friend, and in this case take two!   Our trekking poles are made from ultralight, ultra-strong carbon fiber, with sturdy clasp locking mechanisms. They have a foam or cork handle for a comfortable sweat free grip.<\/p>\n
