The Liteway Pole Pocket is a pair of protective sleeves — 19 g for the set — designed to slip over a trekking pole's grip and tip when it's repurposed as a shelter pole for pitching a tarp. Made from Ecopak EPX200, they shield the pole's cork or foam handle from ground contact and abrasion, and each sleeve has an integrated linelock for tensioning guylines without tying knots.
This is a pure shelter-support accessory rather than a general trekking-pole feature: it doesn't include baskets, an anti-shock mechanism, or a wrist strap, and it's sold strictly as a pair. For ultralight backpackers using trekking poles to pitch a tarp or pyramid shelter instead of carrying dedicated tent poles, it's a lightweight way to keep pole grips clean and guylines adjustable in the field.
