Best Lightweight Trekking Poles?

[huntsman22]

I use one-piece carbonfiber cow-pokers (show sticks) from Weaver Leather (cut to fit). Stronger and lighter than carbon collapsibles. Some may not like the golfclub style handles, tho.

Not sure of the weight but I am happy with my Komperdell ridgehikers.

I've had really good luck with the carbon fiber ones from Costco.

Trying some Black Diamond Trail Ergos this week, hoping they will be the last ones I need for awhile. They are listed at 18oz for the pair.

I used a pair of Komperdell Carbon Vaio 4 for quite a few years and they were great. I've since switched to the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon, due to needing a pole that goes shorter when collapsed for my bivy tent. Both have worked nicely. If you have a tipi, the Komperdell's are handy because their length is longer than the typical trekking poles.

I just picked a pair of Costco ones which now have lever locks for adjustment, right at a pound for both poles. I have used their previous models and ended up jb welding locking mechanism. $30 something, flagman

Cascade carbon fiber trekking poles from Costco.

Hard to beat the cost of the Cascade carbon fiber poles but I've used the Black Diamond Whippet carbon ski pole for 5 years of elk, deer and mt. goat hunting and they have taken a beating with no breaks. The Whippet has a small "pick" on the handle kinda like a mountaineer axe in case you need to self arrest during a fall. Might be overkill but if your looking for good options you might want to consider....

I would reach for the Leki's. Certainly not the cheapest, but they are strong and reasonable weight.

Be careful how you pack them if you are flying with them, regardless of the brand. I've had to learn that lesson the hard way.
