Why We Carry It
When someone walks in asking for their first pair of trekking poles and doesn't want to overthink it, the Journey Lite is where we start the conversation.

Highlights

• Speed Lock Plus adjustment system — Tool-free length adjustment from 100 to 135 cm with a reliable external locking mechanism that has proven itself over years of trail use. Easy to adjust on the fly as terrain changes without stopping to fiddle with internal mechanisms.
• Three-section aluminum construction — HTS 6.0 aluminum throughout both upper and lower shaft sections for a durable, stable pole that holds up to regular trail use without the weight of a heavier material.
• 255 gram per pole weight — A reasonable weight for an entry-level aluminum pole. Light enough to use comfortably on long days without the premium price of a carbon fiber alternative.
• EVOCON grip — A comfortable, standard-size grip that works well for most hand sizes on extended hikes.
• Lock Security Strap Soft 2.0 — A continuously adjustable, secure wrist strap that keeps the pole connected to your hand on technical terrain without restricting movement.
• Carbide flex tip — A flexible carbide tip that absorbs vibration on hard surfaces and grips confidently on rock, packed dirt, and mixed terrain. The flex design reduces tip breakage on aggressive placements.
• 66 cm pack size — Collapses to a manageable length for strapping to a pack or fitting in a car without a dedicated pole bag.
• Trekking basket included — Standard basket for trail use across varied terrain.

Best for

Beginner and casual hikers looking for a durable, adjustable trekking pole at an honest price from a brand with a long track record of quality. A strong first pole for anyone getting into hiking or looking for a reliable backup pair without breaking the budget.
