Komperdell has a new fast and light foldable carbon pole

The new Carbon TrailSticks from Komperdell is a z-type pole for fast paces activities like trail-running and trekking.

Once you’ve tried poles it is hard to go without. And once you’ve tried ultralight poles, well, you wouldn’t go back to heavy ones either. Some trails need quick folding of the poles to scramble a section and that’s where poles like the Komperdell Carbon TrailStick excels. In and out-of-the-way in mere seconds.

The TrailStick is divided into four sections:  the top part is Titanal.HF, the middle section lightweight carbon and the lower part is more durable and called Rocksleeve. The length can be adjusted with the PowerLock 3.0 on the top section.

The pair weighs 480g and they fold down to just 38cm in length. They are backed by Komperdell’s “3 years free service warranty”.
