Carbon Wading / Hiking Pole
Ultralight 3D Carbon Wading Staff as used by NZ Adventurer!
I've been running this pole for my ultralight / long distance trips for the past few years!
Collapsible into 3 sections and extendable height up to 120cm.
This is an extremely light carbon pole not suitable for the same level of abuse as my folstaf pole but at almost 1/3 of the weight it's my go to pole where weight matters and I can apply a level of care to my gear as a trade-off for the weight savings.
Weighs only 240g.
Collapsable into 3 sections.
Height adjustable (longer for deeper crossings, shorter for uphill slogs).
Carbide tip for grip on rocks.
Wrist strap
Manufactured in China
Handle made of cork also with lower Eva grip allows multiple grips depending on the terrain.
Stock is presently on back order (e.g. 3-6wk from date of order) while I establish demand for this product. Rest assured you'll get it and be totally stoked with this pole!
Decision Time? This pole is remarkably similar to the Orvis and Simms versions however costing a fraction of the price and lighter in weight. I've owned and broken the Simms and Folstaf poles so no pole is totally bulletproof when you have a big fall - and this ultralight carbon pole is no different!
Quality Guarantee & Returns
- As used by nzadventurer, this is a great staff for the money.
- As with all ultralight gear care needs to be taken, as it could snap if you catch it laterally or whack it against a rock. I haven't broken mine in over 2 years, with a wee bit of care...
- If you need a bulletproof staff you need the folstaf - althought it will take some abuse (I've put it through some serious paces!) this is an ultralight option that does require some thought in the way you use it.
- I won't bother sending you any item that has issues - quality is assured!
Shipping
- This item is special order so will be around 4 weeks lead time. I'm a small operation so please bear with me and rest assured your item will be shipped asap!
- I'll personally inspect the item before I ship it out to you.
- I'll process your order and be in touch next time I'm back from my adventure!
