Mountain King Supertrekker Compact (2012)

£60.00

The Mountain King Supertrekker Compacts are very well-established and well-proven trekking poles. They benefit from a friction-enhancing coating on the poles, which makes them much easier to grip, especially in the wet, when you have to rotate the pole sections to lock and unlock the internal expansion mechanism. They also have a unique internal mechanism that allows the user to ...

Mountain King Expedition Carbon

£78.00

Proved both light and strong. They also extend to a hefty 135cm – useful for taller walkers, although this does make the pack-down length a bit longer than desirable. The EVA grips are comfortably contoured and stretch down the top 20cm of the shafts – ideal for short, steep traverses – and the straps are both easy to adjust and ...

Mountain King Carbon Compact 2010

£70.00

Mountain King Carbon Compact poles are made in the UK – unlike most others, which are made in the Far East. As the name suggests this model has carbon pole sections to reduce weight, and at just 404g per pair they won’t weigh you down. The poles are locked in place with the useful twist-lock internal mechanism, while the lower ...

MOUNTAIN KING SUPERTREKKER POLE

£60.00

Review: The SuperTrekker boasts a soft and well-shaped handle as well as a long extended grip. The strap is soft and well-padded and the adjustment system is simple but effective. The poles feel quite light in use, especially for antishock models, yet the 7075 aluminium shaft showed few signs of use after a few good walks. The on-off for the ...

Mountain King Super Trekker Antishock

£60.00

These Supertrekker trekking poles span a useful range of around 100cm-135cm and are comfortable to use, with a shapely EVA handle that extends down the top of the shaft, and a nice soft strap. Although one of the heavier models on the market, it performs admirably with a good anti-shock device that can be turned on and off and a ...

Mountain King Supertrekker Compact Anti-Shock

£60.00

A favourite of recent Trail trekking pole reviews, the Supertrekker does most of what most walkers want at a competitive price. So while being lower in price than the best poles here it also benefits from an exceptionally low weight and a very compact size, making it ideal for stowing on your rucksack when it is not required during winter ...

Mountain King Super Trekker

£60.00

The Mountain King Super Trekker pole is a good, lightweight pole for the price. Powder-coated lower sections aid grip on rough terrain and there’s a comfy handle and good strap tension. They’re a nice bright colour too, so you won’t lose them in the grass. Lighter than most with good twist-lock mechanism and straps, but you may find them a ...

Mountain King Sierra Pro

£40.00

These walking poles from Mountain have well-shaped grips, although the rubber material becomes uncomfortable after a long hike. The straps are easy to adjust with a slider mechanism, but have no padding and don’t feel as secure as you’d like under downward pressure. The on-off mechanism for the anti-shock system offers the best of both worlds, without being too heavy. ...
