No. 01 — General hiking where durability exceeds weight savings
Constructed from 7075 aluminium, these poles sacrifice ultralight carbon weight savings for impact resistance and bend tolerance under lateral stress. The budget pricing makes them accessible for general trail use, though lock hardware requires routine inspection. They suit hikers who prioritize durability and reliability over minimum pack weight.
No. 02 — Technical hiking and varied terrain
Constructed from aluminum, these poles provide the durability required for rocky or technical terrain where carbon fiber might shatter. The extended grip is a functional inclusion for navigating steep switchbacks.
No. 03 — Long-distance trekking and weight-conscious hikers
These carbon fiber poles prioritize weight reduction, which minimizes arm fatigue during long-distance trekking. Note that carbon is more prone to snapping under extreme side-loading compared to aluminium.
No. 04 — Budget-conscious hikers and beginners
These aluminium poles offer a budget entry point for casual hikers. The material is more resilient to bending and impact than carbon, though it carries a weight penalty on long climbs.

A category can include both main products and accessories, so its overall price range is not the cost of a complete setup.
