"These are an absolute joy to use" –Outside magazine
"From a performance-only perspective, Ultimate Direction’s FK poles are the best I’ve ever used." - Outside Online


The FK Trekking Pole shaft is 20mm in diameter at the top, while competitors poles are only 13.5mm. Increasing the diameter doesn’t just increase the strength proportionally, it squares the strength, and cubes the increase in stiffness! This important engineering principal has been used to build bicycle frames for 20 years, but incredibly, has almost never been used for trekking poles - until now.

Increasing the diameter provides a massive gain in performance for almost no weight gain. Additionally, the shaft is tapered toward the bottom for a beautifully smooth swing weight, and the lower 20cm of the poles are wrapped with Aramid fabric to resist damage from rocks. There are no moving parts that may break, or that add weight and cost: the pole's fixed length makes it the strongest, lightest and most reliable in existence.

Features

  • Fixed length to achieve maximum rigidity, durability, and weight savings
  • Wrist loops provide enhanced comfort and utility
  • Custom-designed ergonomic grip allows multiple hand positions
  • Tapered shaft design allows for industry leading strength to weight ratio
  • Aramid wrapped base for added abraision resistance
  • Comes with 2 styles of baskets that can be interchanged depending on use on snow or dirt

Specifications

  • Weight: 
    • Single Pole: 115 g / 4.0 oz
    • Pair: 230 g / 8.0 oz
  • Diameter: .79 in / 2 cm
  • Materials: Carbon pole, EVA foam grip, woven nylon strap

    FK Trekking poles.

    I love these poles. They are strong, light, and comfortable on the hands. I am very hard on equipment. I have broken so many poles but not these!!! I have used these poles for over 1000 miles and they are "beautifully" in one piece. I truly believe these are the best poles on the market. Thank you UD for designing these.

    Crazy light. Comfy grips. Not adjustable so choose length carefully

    Totally awesome poles

    These poles are perfect - very light, very strong, very clean. I don't use straps so I cut the top inch off and stuck a fat bike bar end plug in the ends. I don't use baskets for three-season use - so these are like magic wands in my hands. They take quite a bit of weight without bending, let alone breaking, such as in rock fields or using them to jump over streams and logs. My constant companions when fast-packing and hiking.
