Durston Iceline Trekking Poles

The Durston Iceline Trekking Poles are ultralight 3-section carbon poles manufactured for Durston Gear by Komperdell in Austria, a detail that lends the key mechanical component — the locking system — some established European manufacturing pedigree. The pair weighs 290 g, a solidly light figure for a telescoping pole with a 95–127 cm adjustment range and a carbon shaft. Length is set with a twist-lock mechanism on the lower section, the grip is EVA foam, and the tip is carbide for reliable purchase on rock and ice. Collapsed, the poles measure 49 cm, short enough to fit in a side pocket or under a pack lid. Baskets and an adjustable wrist strap are included. Beyond regular walking support, the poles double as tent or tarp poles for shelters without dedicated poles of their own — common practice in ultralight setups, where pole weight effectively gets "recycled" as shelter support. A two-year warranty and universally adjustable length make them a versatile choice for backpacking and ultralight trips alike.
