Mountainsmith Rhyolite 6061 Trekking Poles Emerald Green, One Size

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've recommended the Rhyolite poles to hikers who want a reliable, no-fuss option that won't break the bank or break down on trail. The anti-shock system takes the edge off long descents, and the twist-lock adjustment dials in quickly so you're not fiddling with them every time the terrain changes."A good pair of trekking poles disappears into the rhythm of the hike, and the Mountainsmith Rhyolite 6061 Trekking Poles are built with exactly that goal in mind. From switchback climbs to loose scree descents, these poles provide the stability and confidence that turn a punishing day into an enjoyable one. Mountainsmith packed genuine trail-ready features into an accessible package that rewards hikers at every level. The molded EVA grip sits comfortably in hand across long miles, and the adjustable soft-touch wrist straps reduce the need to white-knuckle the handles on steep terrain. A twist-loaded anti-shock system absorbs impact through the shaft before it reaches the wrists and elbows, making a real difference over the course of a full day on trail. Twist-lock double cam adjustment covers a usable range of 69 to 140 centimeters, collapsing down to 27 inches for easy stashing when the route calls for hands-free scrambling. Carbide tips bite into rock and hardpack with confidence, while the included hiking and snow baskets cover everything from summer singletrack to winter tours. Sold as a pair with replaceable tips and rubber boots, the Rhyolite is built to last well beyond the first season.
