Komperdell Titanal Trekking Poles - Standard, Pair

Perfect to handle, not so easy to adjust with gloves especially the bottom part which is thinner

I bought these to replace similar Komperdell titanal poles acquired from STP several years ago. After hard use and reliable service, their ultimate failure was my fault rather than the poles'. I was very happy to see similar poles at STP when I was seeking replacements. I like the twist locks better than the more trendy lever locks because I am often in thick woods and the low-profile twist locks don't catch in the brush like the lever locks. Occasionally a pole will slip, but the it's manageable and by and large the poles feel very secure. I especially like the light weight and high strength of these poles. The pole grips and straps are functional, adjustable and comfortable - no hand/wrist strain.

The only reason I didn't rate them 5 star is due to limited use so far. Only wee concern - my wife's two year old version don't always hold the length mark, so readjusting is needed. Otherwise, they are fab!

I bought these primarily to use while snowshoeing. If that's your application you'll have to purchase winter snow baskets separately. The baskets that come with the poles are very small and are 'summer baskets'(???) The baskets you want are probably specific to the Komperdell 'Vario' design, I believe. Komperdell has a new locking mechanism for this year - I'm hoping that's not an indication of future problems with the 'twist' style mechanism on these poles.

This is a replacement for the same exact trekking poles that my husband had for the past 5 years. After many years of doing its duty for backpacking, hiking and one crazy canyoneering trip, one of the two poles locking mechanism malfunctioned. After use and time, it can only be expected. I'm glad to have found the exact same poles. I know that my husband likes the versatility of the grip on the poles. Unlike other trekking poles, the foam grip is longer allowing for comfort when gripping the pole so that you don't have to keep adjusting the length when changing from uphill to downhill or vice versa.

I just started using trekking poles and wow what a difference it makes. I decided to get a good set that was comfortable and sturdy enough to last. thus far- no dissapointment

Just returned from a four day backpacking trip and was so pleased with the performance of these poles! First time using treking poles, and I wish I had discovered how much help they were way before this trip! Awesome assistance for balance, posture, and easing the load of a heavy backpack! I will never go backpacking without them again!

Replacing a set I used for several years.

Took these on a hike up to the Beartooth Mountains. Good quality, sturdy, easy to adjust. The grips on the handles are a bit large for a woman and my husband also thought they were a bit large for his hands.

Love the product, very light, great locking mechanisms, comfortable grips, can't wait to log more miles with them
