All-Terrain Trekking Poles

The Trail Back trekking poles are built for day hikes, backpacking trips and mountain treks where stability on uneven ground matters. Three-section aluminum shafts give a balance of strength and weight for long-distance use. The pair suits adults of any gender who want reliable support across mixed terrain.

FlickLock Adjustment Range

Length adjusts from 100 centimeters to 140 centimeters using the FlickLock mechanism for quick, secure changes on the trail. The folded size is 100 centimeters and the extended length is 53 inches. This range covers most user heights but does not reach the 55-inch maximum height recommendation for taller hikers.

Aluminum Shaft Construction

The shafts are made from aluminum rather than carbon fibre, so they absorb impact differently and weigh 0.544 kilograms for the pair. Buyers who want the lightest possible poles or who prefer carbon’s vibration damping should look elsewhere. The aluminum build prioritises durability for rocky or icy conditions.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 140 cm maximum height or the 100 cm folded size for my pack?

The poles telescope between 100 cm and 140 cm, so you carry them at the folded 100 cm length and extend them to the height you need on the trail.

What does the 140 cm maximum height mean when I am actually hiking?

At 140 cm the poles suit a hiker up to about 55 inches tall; you shorten them for steep climbs and lengthen them for descents.

How does the FlickLock mechanism hold the length once I set it?

The external lever clamp locks each aluminum section securely so the poles will not slip under load on rock, dirt or snow.
