Product Highlights

Ideal for year-round use, including winter hiking or snowshoeing, Komperdell's C3 Carbon Powerlock trekking poles combine lightweight carbon construction and easy-to-adjust external locking mechanisms.

C3 Carbon Powerlock trekking poles feature Komperdell's EVA Full Foam Grips. These soft grips are shock absorbing and their 8 degree corrective angle reduces strain on the wrists. Several inches below the standard grips, the upper pole sections have a patented G'reptile grip zone, allowing the pole to be held lower on the shaft, thus eliminating the need to shorten the pole every time you encounter a steep slope.

Far easier to adjust than telescoping poles with internal locking mechanisms, the external locks of C3 Carbon Powerlock poles are especially convenient for winter use. Rather than requiring the dexterity for micro-adjustments of internally-locking poles, C3 Carbon Powerlock poles can be manipulated without any need to remove gloves, eliminating the risk of exposure to snow, wind and cold.

C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact trekking poles can be converted for deeper powder by replacing the standard trekking baskets (included) with one of the several styles of snow baskets available (sold separately) from Komperdell. The Tungsten/Carbide flex tips are designed to flex if the tip of the pole should get stuck, helping to protect the shafts from structural damage.

Komperdell C3 Carbon Powerlock trekking poles are sold in pairs.
