Category: Adjustable Hiking and Ski Poles

MSR's mountaineering-oriented and versatile all-around 3-section fully adjustable aluminum hiking and trekking poles.  Extends from 64 to 140 cm.  Great poles for hiking, backpacking, climbing approaches, snowshoeing, split snowboarding, travel, etc.  Aluminum poles can be more difficult to accidentally snap in half like carbon poles can sometimes do in extreme stressed situations.  This is a significant advantage and preference for some users.  3-section poles give you a much larger range of length adjustment than 2-section poles, and allow the poles to become much more compact for carrying on your pack or in your luggage when needed.  DynaLock™ mechanisms allow for quick and easy length adjustments and tool-free tensioning.  Extended EVA foam grips for ease of sidehilling and choking up on steep terrain that provide all day comfort and more warmth in cold conditions.  Both powder baskets and trekking baskets are included.

Riley P. ★★★★★

Took these up a steep, rocky scramble and they never slipped once, even fully extended to 140 cm on the descents. The three sections collapse down small enough to strap onto my pack, which I didn't expect to appreciate as much as I do.

Lucy Y. ★★★★★

The locking mechanism is rock solid—I’ve had cheap poles collapse on me before, but these held firm through a steep, rocky descent. The three-section aluminum build feels tough yet light enough for a full day out.

Ava V. ★★★★★

Took these up a rocky alpine scramble this weekend and the 3-section aluminum build twisted down to 64 cm to strap on my pack with zero fuss. They felt solid on the descent, and the 140 cm extension was perfect for the long downhill stretches. Exactly the versatility I wanted for mixed hiking and li
