Why choose it

The Explorer Zero Cork strikes a balance between durability and comfort. The cork grip naturally wicks moisture and moulds to your hand over time, reducing fatigue on long hikes.

Whether you're a weekend hiker or a thru-hiker, these poles are built to handle the miles.

• Trekking and backpacking on varied terrain
• Hiking with a heavy pack where extra support is needed
• All-season use, from summer trails to winter snowshoeing
• Day hikes where lightweight, packable poles are essential

The three-section design folds down to 64 cm, fitting easily into a backpack or luggage. The unisex design suits a wide range of hand sizes, and the brown/bronze finish adds a touch of style to your gear.
