TP60 Full-Carbon Trekking Pole

Key Features
100% Carbon Fiber Shaft: All three sections are constructed from premium carbon fiber — no aluminum, no compromises.
Three-Section Carbon Construction: Section 1: Carbon (Ø16 × 0.8 × 420mm); Section 2: Carbon (Ø14 × 0.8 × 430mm); Section 3: Carbon (Ø12 × 1.0 × 470mm).
Ultralight Performance: Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than aluminum — you'll feel the difference on every step, especially over long distances.
Exceptional Stiffness: Carbon fiber provides excellent lateral rigidity, reducing pole flex and improving power transfer with each stride.
Vibration Damping: Carbon naturally absorbs trail vibration, reducing fatigue in your hands, wrists, and arms over long hikes.
Corrosion-Proof: Carbon fiber will never rust or corrode — perfect for coastal, rainy, and humid environments.
1.3m Extended Length: Full-size pole suitable for most adult heights.
Telescopic Adjustment: Collapses compactly despite the premium construction.
Standard Tip & Basket Compatibility: Works with standard replacement tips and terrain baskets.

Why Choose Full-Carbon?
Gram-Counting Performance: For thru-hikers, ultralight backpackers, and speed hikers, every gram matters. Full-carbon poles are among the lightest on the market.
Superior Vibration Dampening: Carbon fiber absorbs trail shock far better than aluminum. After a 20km day, your hands and arms will feel noticeably fresher.
All-Weather Durability: Carbon never corrodes, never rusts. Salt air, rain, snow — none of it degrades the shaft.
High Stiffness-to-Weight: Carbon provides excellent rigidity at a fraction of aluminum's weight. You get stable, precise pole plants without the mass.
Premium Aesthetics: Carbon fiber's distinctive weave pattern looks sleek and professional — this is a pole that signals serious outdoor commitment.
Reduced Fatigue: Lighter poles mean less arm swing energy over thousands of steps — the cumulative effect on a long trail is significant.

Ideal Use Cases
Thru-Hiking & Long-Distance Trails: Ultralight weight and vibration dampening make a real difference over hundreds or thousands of kilometers.
Ultralight Backpacking: Essential gear for hikers who minimize base weight without sacrificing performance.
Speed Hiking & Fastpacking: Light, stiff poles for fast, efficient mountain movement.
FKT Attempts & Racing: Every gram counts when you're chasing records.
Multi-Day Trekking: Premium comfort and reduced fatigue for extended backcountry trips.
Coastal & Humid Environments: Corrosion-proof carbon handles salt air and moisture where aluminum would degrade.
Travel & Day Hiking: Lightweight premium performance for any outing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much lighter is carbon compared to aluminum?
A: Carbon fiber poles are typically 20–40% lighter than equivalent aluminum poles. The exact difference depends on wall thickness and design, but the weight savings are significant and noticeable on the trail.
Q: Is carbon fiber durable?
A: Yes, quality carbon fiber is very strong and durable. However, it behaves differently from aluminum under extreme stress — carbon can crack or shatter on sharp impacts (such as catching between rocks), whereas aluminum bends. For normal hiking use, carbon is extremely reliable.
Q: Can carbon poles be repaired if damaged?
A: Carbon fiber damage is generally not repairable in the field. If a section cracks, it should be replaced. This is the main trade-off vs. aluminum, which can sometimes be straightened.
Q: Does carbon fiber conduct electricity?
A: Carbon fiber is electrically conductive. Avoid using carbon poles near power lines or during lightning storms — use the same precautions as with any metal pole.
Q: What is the maximum length?
A: The pole extends to 1.3 meters, suitable for most adult users.
Q: Are carbon poles worth the extra cost?
A: For casual day hikers, aluminum poles offer excellent value. For serious backpackers, thru-hikers, and anyone who counts grams, the weight savings, vibration dampening, and corrosion resistance of carbon make it well worth the investment.
Q: How do I care for carbon poles?
A: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid striking the shaft against hard surfaces. Inspect for cracks or delamination regularly. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight for extended periods.
