MSR SureLock TR-3 2012 (2012)

£113.00

The SureLock range of poles is MSR’s first entry into the competitive trekking pole market. It aims to tackle the classic problem of trekking poles – namely poor locking mechanism – by having a unique SureLock adjustment system, which relies on an internal pin that locates into a series of apertures on the inside of the tubes. The locking pins ...

Pacerpole Carbon 2010

£87.00

Pacerpoles have been around a few years now but this carbon version shaves some of the weight off. The Pacerpole has developed a strong following due to its unique handle. The moulding is designed to sit perfectly in the hand and allow a very natural walking action with less shoulder and elbow movement. Compare the Pacerpole to any other option ...

Trekmates Compact Slim Line 2010

£50.00

The low price of the Trekmates Compact Slim Line pole is instantly attractive, and the weight is very low too compared to some other options. Part of the weight saving may be due to the shorter overall length, as when fully expanded these are only 117cm long. I’m 6ft tall and for me that length was fine. This is a ...

Exped Downmat 7 Pump

£110.00

DesignThe more air pockets trapped inside the ...

Black Diamond Spire

£80.00

The Black Diamond Spire trekking pole is unique in having elliptical pole shaft sections. This means you can handle the pole far more easily than a conventional round-shafted design. Furthermore, you get greater stiffness in the pole – which is useful when on steep descents where you are applying extra twist and stress on the poles as you negotiate rough ...

Leki Soft Antishock

£60.00

These Leki Antishock trekking poles are hard to beat. They’re an excellent design with left/right-specific hand straps for comfort. This is one of few designs where the anti-shock works properly. There’s no means of gripping the bottom section, so they may be difficult to undo in winter, although we found the twist-locks easy to adjust and secure under load. That ...
