Ultra Light 100% Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles – Pair

Very lightweight but strong. Quality construction makes them feel like they should cost more. Super comfortable hand grips with wrist straps that dont loosen easily when trekking.

Okay. So I purchased these poles almost two years ago. I was preparing for a trip to Mount Whitney and was replacing some older gear. I was looking to upgrade and go lighter and decided on carbon fiber poles. I use poles a lot in steep country going downhill to take some pressure off of my knees and low back. They definitely help with balance, as well. Many of the other poles I looked at were expensive. Worth it I'm sure, but i was looking to make my money go further as I was upgrading other gear too. The Montem poles were almost half the price of others I looked at. I'd never heard of the name, but figured I would try them out. I took them on a number of preparatory trips and they worked well. They seemed sturdy and were easy to adjust on the go. The cork handles were nice too as they would absorb sweat and did not get slippery or sticky as the handles on my older, aluminum poles did. Last weekend I brought them to Mount Baldy. While crossing a section of trail comprised of jagged rock, one pole got stuck between the rocks. As I wrestled it free, the tip snapped off. I was barely 3 miles into an 11 mile hike. I would need the support of both poles. I was able to MacGyver a fix by wedging a small diameter, sturdy stick into the end. I completed the hike without incident and resolved to contact the company the next day. To be clear, the pole breaking was not a fault in construction or design. I believe it broke due to my haste in trying to continue forward and my over aggressive manner in which I wrenched it free from the rocks. Had I paused and carefully removed it, I don't think it would have broken. Anyway, my hope was to at least purchase just the broken section. I still had one good pole. The broken section could be removed and a new one inserted in its place. I even offered to pay for just one pole. That was not an option, they said. After a bit of back and forth with customer service via email, they finally offered to send me a new pair of poles. Again, my original purchase was almost two years ago. I think the warranty is only for 1 year. If you are uncertain about the quality of these poles, my advice is to try them out. For the price, I think it is worth the chance. Hopefully, my testament to their customer service will help you make your decision.

Just got back from a 12-day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. My son and I each used a pair of Montem carbon trekking poles. It was a tough hike, but the poles made it easier. Definitely worth the money to get your arms involved to help your legs. Extremely helpful for balance on rough ground or stream crossings. The Montem poles held up beautifully throughout the trek. Great poles at a great price.

They conveniently collapsed and fit into the side pocket of our travel bag. Sturdy, light and locked in tight for reliable hiking poles. Great buy for the price.

This is my second pair of these Montem Ultralight Carbon Fiber Hiking Poles and I like them a lot. They are extremely lightweight, the length is super easy to adjust as is the suspension for the length adjustment. I hike a lot and use a Trecking poles all the time. Most Trecking poles bend after years of use or the length adjustment doesn't work after a while. So far they are excellent.

Great polls super lightweight better than expected.

Excellent customer service and were recommended thse poles. They are great and lightweight and are a bargain

Really light and definitely a sturdy pole for the price. Got another one for my wife!

These trekking poles saved my knees on my 2.5 mile walk/hike

I bought these for a 40 mile Glacier National Park hike. They were great. Very easy to adjust, extremely lightweight and very durable. This is a great price for a great product.
