Snow Baskets

Inspired by volcanic cliffs and rugged rock walls, this pole uses T800 carbon fiber to deliver exceptional strength and stability. The refined weave balances durability and lightness, providing confident support on demanding alpine terrain.

Born from the icefields and alpine rivers of British Columbia, the Glacier Melt design carries the blue of fresh snowmelt and the strength of moving water. It reminds us that every step flows back to the landscapes that shape us.

Drawing from the power and clarity of alpine water, Strider X combines T800 carbon fiber with precision X-wave construction to offer ultralight strength and reliable shock control across wet, rocky, and steep trails.

FAQs

No—once it’s properly adjusted, it stays put.

The external lever locks are easy to see and fine-tune, and they hold firmly once set. In real use, they stay locked on climbs, descents, and uneven terrain without constant readjustment.

As long as the tension is set correctly at the start, you don’t need to worry about slipping mid-hike.

Yes—especially on long or steep descents.

When used correctly, trekking poles help shift part of the impact from your knees and ankles to your upper body. Many hikers notice less joint strain and better balance on downhill sections, where knees usually take the most stress.

The difference becomes more noticeable the longer or steeper the descent is.

No—the grip stays secure even when your hands are sweaty.

The EVA foam grip is shaped for comfort and traction, so it doesn’t feel slick when wet. In hot weather or damp conditions, it still provides a confident, non-slip hold without needing to constantly readjust your grip.

Yes—it’s easy to dial in and flexible enough for most situations.

The 3-section telescoping design adjusts from 63 to 135 cm, which covers a wide range of heights. In real use, it’s simple to shorten the poles for uphill sections and lengthen them for descents or flat terrain.

Once you get used to it, adjusting on the trail becomes quick and intuitive.

Yes—they’re suitable for four-season hiking.

For typical trails in spring, summer, and fall, they work as-is. In winter or on soft surfaces like snow or mud, adding compatible baskets or tips helps improve stability and performance.

With the right accessories, they remain useful even in colder conditions.

Yes—carbon fiber is strong for its weight and well-suited for trekking.

It’s designed to handle hiking support and absorb impact efficiently, which is why many hikers prefer it for long distances. That said, like all carbon poles, it’s not meant to be used to pry rocks or take hard side impacts.

Used as intended, it holds up well and rewards you with lighter weight and less fatigue.

Most hikers find that using a pair feels more natural and balanced—especially on longer hikes or uneven terrain.

Two poles help distribute effort more evenly, improve stability, and reduce strain on knees and ankles. That said, a single pole can still be useful if you prefer to travel lighter or mainly want occasional support on descents.

Many people start with one pole, then switch to a pair once they experience the difference.
