Hiker Hunger Outfitters Foldable Hiking Poles - Cork Black, 100–120 cm; Aircraft-Grade Aluminum & Metal Locks

Built by a Montana-based brand tested in the Rockies, these collapsible hiking poles combine ultralight construction with tough hardware so you can carry support without hauling weight. They collapse to 15 inches to tuck into backpacks, and offer two size ranges — this model adjusts from 100 cm to 120 cm, ideal for hikers approximately 5'9" and shorter. Reinforced joints, metal flip locks and a choice of Cork or EVA grips give a balance of comfort and durability for day hikes, travel, or fastpacking.

How do these poles stay compact for travel?

Each pole folds down into multiple segments and locks into a 15-inch packable length, making them easy to slip into luggage or clip to an external pack. The folding design reduces bulk without sacrificing the length you need on the trail.

• Collapses to 15 inches for backpacking and airline travel
• Three or four segment fold design for compact storage
• Lightweight overall weight (under 11 oz per pole depending on size)
• Included carry sleeve or strap for easy attachment

Will the poles hold up on rough terrain?

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with reinforced joints, these poles are engineered to resist bending and handle varied trail conditions. Metal flip locks provide secure, fast adjustments that stand up to repeated use and colder temperatures better than many plastic systems.

• Aircraft-grade aluminum shaft for strength and impact resistance
• Metal flip locks for reliable clamping under load
• Reinforced connection points to reduce wear at stress zones
• Replaceable tips and optional baskets for mud or snow

How do I choose the right size and grip for comfort?

This model adjusts from 100 to 120 cm, recommended for people about 5'9" and shorter; there is a longer model for taller users. Choose Cork grips for sweat-wicking and better hand molding over long hikes, or EVA foam for softer cushioning and colder-weather comfort.

• Adjustable range: 100–120 cm (this listing) for hikers ~5'9" and under
• Cork grips conform to hands and manage moisture naturally
• EVA foam option offers plush feel and warmth retention
• Wrist straps and foam extension sections for varied grip positions

How easy are these poles to adjust on the trail?

Metal flip locks let you change length quickly with one hand while staying confident the pole won’t slip. The telescoping sections slide smoothly and lock securely, so you can adapt to steep climbs, descents, or river crossings without delay.

• Quick metal flip locks for fast, tool-free length changes
• Intuitive markings on the shaft to set repeatable heights
• Secure clamping prevents accidental collapse under load
• Design supports easy adjustment wearing gloves
