Komperdell C3 Carbon Powerlock

With easy-to-use external locking mechanisms, compact grips and lightweight carbon materials, Komperdell C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact trekking poles offer sleek performance at minimal trail weight. Compared to standard men's models, these poles are more lightweight, shorter in length and feature a grip that is slimmer and more comfortable for women or men with smaller hands. C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact trekking poles feature Komperdell's Airfoam Compact Grips. These soft, streamlined grips employ an ergonomic angle that reduces strain on the wrists. Integrated Airfoam straps further reduce strain. Several inches below the standard grips, the upper pole sections have a patented G'reptile grip zone, allowing the pole to be held lower on the shaft, thus eliminating the need to shorten the pole every time you encounter a steep slope. Far easier to adjust than telescoping poles with internal locking mechanisms, the external locks of C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact poles are especially convenient for winter use. Rather than requiring the dexterity for micro-adjustments of internally-locking poles, C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact poles can be manipulated without any need to remove gloves, eliminating the risk of exposure to snow, wind and cold. C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact trekking poles can be converted for deeper powder by replacing the standard trekking baskets (included) with one of the several styles of snow baskets available (sold separately) from Komperdell. The Tungsten/Carbide flex tips are designed to flex if the tip of the pole should get stuck, helping to protect the shafts from structural damage. Komperdell C3 Carbon Powerlock Compact trekking poles are sold in pairs.
