Komperdell FX Lite Carbon Vario Summit Compact Trekking Poles - Titan

Trekking poles engineered for lightweight performance and compact packability, the Komperdell FX Lite Carbon Vario Summit Compact in Titan delivers a featherlight 207 g per pole without compromising strength. The carbon shaft construction pairs with the FXP.4 automatic folding mechanism, snapping into a secure, rattle-free unit that collapses to just 41 cm for effortless stowing in any pack. The Powerlock 3.0 adjustment system allows precise length changes from 105 to 125 cm, adapting instantly to varied terrain and user height. A comfort foam grip with padded strap and extended grip zone offers secure handling on steep ascents, while the tungsten/carbide flex tip and interchangeable Vario trekking basket provide reliable traction on everything from rocky trails to muddy paths.

Advantages

Ultra-light carbon construction reduces fatigue on long treks. The automatic folding system enables one-pull deployment and a remarkably small packed size, ideal for travel and fast-and-light missions. Powerlock 3.0 clamps hold firm under load yet adjust easily, even with gloves. The foam grip wicks moisture and the padded strap distributes pressure, enhancing comfort over hours of use. Interchangeable baskets let you fine-tune performance for different seasons and surfaces.
