« Item   Item » REI Ascent Shocklight Compact Trekking Poles, Pair Adjustable padded neoprene wrist straps add support. Compact-sized poles are ideal for those with smaller hands and shorter stature. DuoLock™—an extra-strong internal locking mechanism—provides a big boost in performance. DuoLocks apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment. DuoLocks showed 50% more holding power than other locking mechanisms during REI lab tests. Fitted with trekking disks and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; rubber tip protectors included. Foam grips with an ergonomic, contoured shape are easy to hold; extended grip length allows pole to be held low during short side hill traverses. Lightweight, rattle-resistant REI® Ascent Shocklight compact trekking poles supply support and stability without disturbing the peace. Made from 7075-T6 aluminum for durability with a light carry weight. Shock-absorbing poles reduce fatigue while improving stability; lock-out mechanism creates a rigid pole when needed for more efficient climbing. Shocklight shock absorbers weigh less than common spring-loaded poles and won't rattle within the shaft as you walk. Three-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 49'' and compact to 24'' for easy storage and transport. More info + price
