Life-Link Guide Ultra Light Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

The Life-Link Guide Ultra Light is one of the lightest and most dependable trekking poles on Earth. This do-it-all, trek/ski/expedition pole is the ultimate choice of guides and serious adventurers thanks in part to its easy conversion into an avalanche probe. The Guide Ultra Light packs down to 30in for storage in a duffel bag, atop a yak, or on your pack. Great for steep ascents or use as a spring and winter pole for backcountry skiing or snowboarding. A carbon fiber lower provides incredibly light swing weight, while the snag-proof trekking baskets protect the flex tip, provide grip on steep slopes, and won't catch on passing rocks and shrubberies. Combine the Guide Ultra Light with a set of Snowflake Winter Baskets, and you've got the ultimate 4-season pole.

Bottom Line: A sturdy but extremely lightweight pole tailored to backcountry professionals and other hardcore users.
