Silva Trekking Poles Aluminum

Silva Trekking Poles Aluminum

The Silva Trekking Poles Aluminum are the foam-handled pair in Silva's range, built on 7075 aluminium shafts at 460 g. Poles take load off your knees on a descent, and on the loose limestone in the Hajar wadis they are as much about balance as they are about effort.

Features and Benefits

The flick-lock system adjusts length up to 140 cm. It is an external clamp rather than a twist lock, which means you can lengthen or shorten a pole with gloves on and without guessing whether it will slip under load.

Additionally, the handles are extended foam. That extension is the part people underrate. On a steep pitch you drop your hand down the foam rather than stopping to shorten the pole, and you get a shorter effective pole instantly.

Beyond that, the poles collapse into three sections for a pack or a pack strap, the wrist straps are soft and adjustable for full-day use, and concave carbide tips grip rock and packed trail. Removable snow baskets and rubber paws are included, and a storage bag comes with them.

Product-Specific Use Cases

These suit Wadi Shawka, Jebel Yibir and the Stairway to Heaven, where the descents are long and rocky and the ground moves under you. The rubber paws are the ones you will use locally, on slabby rock where a carbide tip skates. Snow baskets are for trips to ranges abroad.
