Not a combination, it's carbon. OK poles for a good price.

In terms of quality of trekking pole profiles, probably none beats Kohla. I use the most robust Adventure ones and under load during ski touring as three-parters they don't compress even a bit. In France I wedged one pole into a crack between rocks and pulled forward while walking. The pole did bend a bit under heavy load but I straightened it right there on my knee back to the original position. Now the pole is completely straight again. Kohla quality is undisputedly confirmed by my 20 years of use .

I also have Kohla Alpen pro for more than 10 years. Really durable poles. I've bent them left and right too but when you straighten them they're like new...

Does anyone know if there is a model of trekking poles where the handle material stays cold for quite a while, especially in summer heat? I have a problem with palms burning from holding the poles.

Today I'd need heaters. I'm joking. Try with gloves Martin V.

12.5.2014 I didn't use poles until 50. Then when I started using them I realized I'm addicted to them. Many times forgot them at home and was totally lost without them.
Now often I don't take them at all. Most of my tours are off-trail and they often get in the way. And it goes without them too...
best regards

I see I gave you a reason to joke, but in summer my hands sweat and it's hot for me. I'm not a winter wimp, but for winter there are gloves. I saw from Leki a model with sand-colored plastic handle, they feel quite cool, possibly they thought of that not insignificant detail for summer heat.

Martin V., maybe two ideas:
-poles with cork grips might be more suitable in that case than plastic grips
-cycling gloves with cut-off fingers (I use them occasionally in summer because my hands sweat a lot)
My problem is different from yours, but the idea might come in handy.

Hello. Recently in a fall I twisted my old hiking poles so badly that they really can't be straightened. Buying new ones. Since I've had screw-adjustable poles so far, I'm curious about your opinion on collapsible poles, I have the ones below in mind. Forum opinion on this type of poles.

Dejan, visually every pole looks the same, big difference is in materials, pole profile manufacturing, tips, inner cone insert, corrosion protection, grips, basket attachments and their supply or spare parts.
I recommend only Kohla for hiking from my side, you'll have it for years, doesn't fatigue in material, strong, durable and doesn't break. For ski touring Tehnomat also good. Those Black Diamonds and similar already thrown a lot away.

Dejan, I have exactly those you're looking at. Very light, comfortable grip, clip adjustment is great. I like that baskets change without problem (summer - winter), because on thread. With previous poles I barely got them up, down never again
But have to admit they seem a bit wobbly to me, probably due to low weight, true I have them almost fully extended.
Well after a year of use they haven't broken or bent.
When I bought them, price was quite good compared to others with that adjustment method. If still so, I think worth getting.

Does anyone know if the baskets that tilt up to 45 degrees mount on normal poles or can only be gotten with poles together?
|
|

| IgorZlodej19. 06. 2014 16:14:48 |
Tehnomat has both, poles and baskets. But those with tilt more suitable for ski tourers, because they adapt to snow surface.

Igor, yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Question remains: on what poles can those baskets be attached or do they have to be bought together with poles?
|
|
|
|
| IgorZlodej19. 06. 2014 17:15:43 |
Baskets available separately. But the poles are also very useful . Recommend

Hey, I don't know if I'm really asking something so stupid or what ;-(
Look, I have poles, as many as you want. Now I'm wondering if I can attach swivel snow baskets to them. Or do the poles have to be made specifically for those baskets?

| IgorZlodej19. 06. 2014 19:40:10 |
I'm not the manufacturer, but just a satisfied user of theirs, if you want more info click on http://www.tehnomat.si/, damn some of you are unimaginative

Come on, Igor!
I've checked Tehnomat many times, last time a couple hours ago - no sign of any swivel baskets. So how am I supposed to use them?
Repeating the question (not for you Igor, but for someone who knows the answer). Can swivel baskets be mounted on regular poles?
