If you are shopping for entry to mid level carbon carbon trekking poles, the Mountainsmith Carbonlite Pro is a recommended choice. The poles ergonomic cork grips are ideal for someone with medium to large hands. One feature is wide adjustable neoprene wrist straps to help keep your hands in place while not creating hot spots on your wrists. The Carbonlite Pro trekking poles have an anti-shock absorption system but are a bit stiff making them suited for short to moderate distance hikes. If you are considering these for lengthier thru-hiking, the Carbonlite Pro trekking poles may not be the right selection. The quick-twist locking mechanism and three telescoping sections make the Carbonlite Pro easily adjustable. The extended pole length makes the poles adaptable to a range of body heights. Strapped to the outside of a pack, the Carbonlite Pro poles are nicely sized while weighing in at just one pound two ounces. The poles do not collapse to a small enough size and can rub against you when affixed to your pack.
If quality, comfort, and price are elements in your decision take a cue from the cavemen. The Mountainsmith Carbonlite Pro is a choice for your next trekking pole purchase and retail at $69. Tags:
