High quality, lightweight, and incredibly compact.
Mountain King says
Poles for ultra runners, light weight hiking, backpacking and paragliding. For all challenges that require lightweight, strong and reliable kit. The Trail Blaze and Skyrunner poles provide extra stability and for ultra running can easily be attached to race vests when not in use. Their compact size also makes them ideal for paragliding as the handy mesh storage bag allows you to store the poles in your harness when flying.
The Skyrunner Ultra is the latest addition to the Skyrunner range, with carbon fibre connecting joints to make this probably the lightest pole on the market. Using only premium quality alloy and making our own carbon fibre tubes ensures that the Trail Blaze and Skyrunner poles are a great choice for any event.
Sold as a pair.
Our Verdict
Built for trail runners and super-fast hikers, these 100% carbon fibre poles are incredibly hard-wearing, and super light.
They have really comfortable airflow foam handles, which don’t irritate your hand and also prevent your hand from becoming clammy as they stay cool. The handles are rather large, but I didn’t find them uncomfortable.
The poles are made up of 4 sections, so they pack down very small and can be easily stashed in a side pocket or runner’s vest.
The poles are held in place with a tension cord, not the most technologically advanced system, but it’s simple to use, reduces weight and most importantly, there is very little that could malfunction. The cord runs the length of the pole, when you wish to lock the pole in place simply pull the cord tort and secure it in the simple notch, easy.
The tips of the poles are made from tungsten carbide and are more robust and much wider than any pole I have used before.
