Trekking poles have become standard equipment for many hikers and backpackers. They enhance stability and give additional support on all types of terrain. Mountain King poles have been designed with the main considerations in mind: weight, price, shock absorption, shaft construction and type of grip. They are all made in Britain in Newcastle Upon Tyne, meaning a high quality and long-lasting construction.
The Mountain King Expedition EVA Twistlock is a great pole for longer trips. The handle has a EVA ergonomic grip complete with a middle grip making it more comfortable on longer, tougher days. The antishock system makes going downhill more comfortable on your hands by absorbing the shock. This function can also be turned off for ascending steep terrain. The pole’s features also include:
7075 Aluminium Alloy
Fully Anodised
Carbide wear tip
Switchable on/off antishock
Interchangeable snow and trekking baskets
EVA Ergonomic grip with middle grip
Length: 66 – 135cm
Weight: 235g
Made in Britain
If you are wanting a shorter pole for storage, or for when it is on your rucksack, take a look at the Super Trekker Compact which when stored is 59cm.
