Use carbide tips on dirt and the rubber tips on rock if you care about the trail surface. Flick locks are easier with cold hands. If your shelter needs a specific pole length, set that length at home and mark it.

Who should buy it. Hikers ready to leave aluminum.

Best for. Hikers who want carbon without a fashion price

Standout limitation. Still carbon, so it can snap
