Our Traverse Shocklight trekking poles provide quiet stability and support so you hear the sounds of nature and not the clicks of poles.

  • Shock-absorbing poles reduce fatigue while improving stability; lockout mechanism creates a rigid pole when needed for more efficient climbing
  • Shocklight shock absorbers weigh less than common spring-loaded mechanisms and won't rattle within the shaft as you walk
  • DuoLock internal locking mechanisms apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment
  • With the new Stop Lock system, poles won't come apart; system makes the pole sections into 1 unit for security and stability
  • Twist-locking pole sections let you tailor the length to fit your terrain: make them shorter for the way up, longer for the way down
  • Strong 7075-T6 aluminum 3-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 55 in. and compact to 28 in. for easy storage and transport
  • Soft EVA foam hand grips have an ergonomic, contoured shape that is easy to hold; adjustable padded neoprene wrist straps add support
  • Fitted with trekking discs and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; included tip protectors are strictly for travel/packing protection, not intended for hiking

Imported.

    Comments about REI Traverse Shocklight Trekking Poles - Pair:

    I've used these poles for approximately a year now and been fine with them. People have complained in the past about them collapsing easily, but I never had a problem with this. It seems more likely that people were not tightening them properly. Adjusting can be tricky at first until you get used to them... to tighten I found that if you provided a little bit of pressure transverse to the screw direction it helped... otherwise you might not be catching the threads inside.

    For the average person these poles will do fine... They are a decent weight and fairly adjustable. I've used them on dirt, mud, in streams, on hard-pack ice, and on granite and never had an issue with slipping.

    My only complaints are that they become difficult to adjust when wet (i.e. rain) and are a bit long even when compacted down (made them difficult to take on the airplane).

      Comments about REI Traverse Shocklight Trekking Poles - Pair:

      I've had these for quite awhile but only use them when I really need poles as I'm not a big fan of them, but do like them for long up hill sections. They have held up great through some pretty nast use though. Only problem is the "shock absorber" on one no longer shuts off. I don't even notice when they are on or off (other then the squeek) anyway, so no big deal.
