Komperdell Ridgehiker Cork Trekking Poles

Inspired by athletes’ spirit of adventure, Austria’s Komperdell has been making ski poles and other alpine gear since 1922. The Ridgehiker cork trekking poles are strong and lightweight with ergonomic cork grips that have integrated woven straps to reduce slipping when wet. Each pole is made of 7075-T6 aluminum and features Powerlock 3.0 locking mechanisms that allow for easy, on-the-fly adjustments. The Vario summer trekking baskets provide increased traction in dry and wet conditions, while the tungsten and carbide flex tip is designed to flex when the tip gets stuck to protect the shaft from structural damage. Finally, each pole has a maximum extended length of just over 55 inches and packs down to just under 26 inches.
