Komperdell Trail Lite Compact Titanal Trekking Poles (Pair)

Product Highlights

Specially designed poles for women and youth. No more compromising by having to use full size men's poles. Komperdell's compact Contourgrip foam grips are designed for smaller hands, and have an additional grip zone that extends below the traditional hand grip. This additional grip zone allows the pole to be held lower on the grip, thus eliminating the need to shorten the pole every time you encounter a steep slope.

The pole's 3 telescopic sections are constructed of Titanal HF. TITANAL is part of the 7XXX class of alloys. The mechanical properties of TITANAL are comparable to steel. Yet, its weight is only 1/3 the weight of steel. TITANAL is strong, light, and highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

Another feature of these poles is the Komperdell Duolock system. This system uses a dual wedge locking mechanism to provide a more secure lock. This reduces the chances of a pole collapsing at an inopportune moment.

These poles also feature a neoprene-padded wrist strap. Poles can be converted for winter use by replacing the summer trekking baskets with one of the several styles of snow baskets available. The Tungsten/Carbide flex tips are designed to flex if the tip of the pole should get stuck. This helps protect the poles from structural damage.
