Komperdell Carbon FXP.4 Expedition
Best lightweight folding poles for serious year round backcountry explorers.
These poles are the ultimate multi-tool for year-round adventurers who value efficiency above all else. The self-deploying design eliminates the typical fumbling with segments, though you sacrifice the infinite adjustability of traditional twist-lock poles for the sake of speed and a remarkably compact pack size.
