💢💢 Top 5 Best Hiking Poles of 2021 💢💢
👉 #1: Best Hiking Poles Overall: Leki Micro Vario Carbon
[ Ссылка ]
Made from carbon instead of aluminum, these poles do a great job of absorbing shock when trekking across rugged terrain, making them ideal for steep descents. The grips offer a choke-up extension which makes them comfortable on long ascents. Unlike others in its class, this pole offers up to eight inches of adjustment, allowing you to make quick adjustments as you move from flat to angled terrain.
What I like most about the Leki Micro Vario Carbon is how small they pack down and the how comfortable the grips feel in my hands.
What I don’t care for so much is the hefty price tag, and weighing in at over one pound, they are a bit heavier than other models in their class.

👉 #2: Best Women-Specific Design: Black Diamond Distance FLZ
[ Ссылка ]
If you’re looking for a women’s specific product that’s both durable and lightweight, these poles are sure to meet your needs.
Black Diamond constructed these hiking poles from strong aluminum shafts complimented by silicon-encased Dyneema joints, making them light enough for any backcountry adventure and burly enough to carry the heavy load needed to get you there.
What I like most about these trekking poles is how small they pack down as well as their durability when compared to other collapsible poles in their class.
What I don’t care for as much is how the grips feel compared to models with cork handles.

👉 #3: Best Budget Pick: Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber
[ Ссылка ]
If you are looking for a trekking pole that has great features without the hefty price tag, these poles are a worthy choice to consider.
These poles feature quick lock adjustments, a comfortable cork grip, and lightweight carbon shafts. Cascade Mountain also offers assortment of tips and baskets for varying terrains or seasons.
What I like most about these trekking poles is how versatile they are, making them ideal for bringing on both casual weekend trips and extended adventures.
What I don’t care for about these trekking poles is the bulky quick lock adjustments and their large packed size. At 26 inches, you won’t be able to stash these poles into most day hiking packs I’m familiar with.
----
👉 #4: Best Ultralight Hiking Poles: Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z
[ Ссылка ]
Weighing in at only 10 ounces, these are some of the lightest trekking poles on the market. These hiking poles are ideal for fast and light missions, packing down to just 14 inches in length. Although they’re not adjustable, these poles come in 4 different sizes.
What I like most about the Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z hiking poles is how durable they feel despite their lightweight construction.
What I don’t care for about these poles is the lack of adjustment ability and the thin foam grips.
----
👉 #5: Best For Four-Season Use: Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork
[ Ссылка ]
These poles are constructed from thicker than average carbon shafts, offering the combined durability of aluminum with the shock absorbing power of carbon. Unlike foam, cork handles form to your grip over time, making them an extremely comfortable choice. The metal FlickLock mechanism is one of the most secure on the market.
What I like about the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork poles is the beefy carbon fiber design that does well across rough terrain and holds up under heavy loads.
What I don’t care for as much is that unless you plan on using them year-round, they’re a bit overkill for normal 3 season use and don’t pack as small as other models in their class.
