Masters Kompressor Trekking Pole - 1 Pair

Item #ALP0063 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good

By Ranked #262 - Snowshoes January 29, 2003

Good pole, very lightweight with interchangeable cups (and a very good interchanging system). Switchable between shock-absorbing and non-shock-absorbing modes, but non-shock-absorbing mode is still surprisingly spongy and does not feel all that different. Wrist straps are a little awkward where it crosses the thumb, but otherwise it is a well-designed pole. If I could do it again, I would have gone for the cork grips, which handle sweat well and feel better against the skin.
