2007 Alpkit Carbonlite Trekking Poles REVIEW

admin October 11, 2007

These three section carbon fiber trekking poles are sturdy and stiff and are light in your hands AND on your budget.

by Ken Knight | –
Carbon fiber trekking poles are becoming quite common. We have reviewed an astonishing variety in the past year from large and small companies. Fixed length, 2-segment, and 3-segment poles with all manner of grips, straps, and locking systems have been examined. One thing many of the poles have in common though is their fairly high price. A notable exception can be found with the Alpkit Carbonlite Trekking Pole Review written by Doug Johnson last fall. Alpkit has since refined the pole, making several changes which I believe have made a value-leading trekking pole better yet.
