Description
Komperdell is an Austrian brand specialising in ski and hiking poles since 1922. Its know-how accumulated over the years has made it possible to develop the Contour Powerlock hiking poles. Their 3-section construction makes them compact and easy to store in a backpack to have them quickly at hand.
As they are telescopic poles, folding them is very quick. You can then adjust the size, depending on whether you are downhill or uphill. To do this, simply open the latch. The advantage of the Powerlock 3.0 clip is that it can be handled with bare hands or with gloves. The height is adjustable from 105 to 140 cm. The tubes are made of aluminium, a material a little heavier than carbon but much more resistant.
The wrist straps are adjustable straps. Be sure to adjust them properly, they play an important role in the effort. The handles are made of foam, a pleasant material to the touch and the fingers are designed for an excellent grip.
Finally, the tips are a tungsten carbide. Compared to steel, also used for the tips of some trekking poles, those made of tungsten carbide are more resistant and offer better grip on the ground. The Vario discs are removable when you are on steep terrain. Otherwise, they will fully play their role in snowy or muddy areas.
