Alps Mountaineering Alliance Trekking Poles - The Alliance Trekking Poles (sold as a pair) are both light weight and durable. The combination of two carbon fiber upper sections with an aluminum lower section make the Alliance less prone to tip breakage like 100% carbon fiber poles. The fast-locking system allows for rapid extension for hiking or collapse for attaching to a pack when not needed. Each pair come with standard and large accessory baskets along with oversized rubber walking caps. At less than 16 oz. (454g) per pair, these poles will provide comfort and stability on your next hike without adding excess weight.
