Silva Trekking Poles Aluminum Cork

Silva Trekking Poles Aluminum Cork

The Silva Trekking Poles Aluminum Cork swap the foam grip for natural cork on the same 7075 aluminium shaft. Cork is the reason to pay the difference in this climate, because it does not go slick the way foam does once your hands are sweating on a long ascent.

Features and Benefits

Cork moulds slightly to your hand over time. It also stays comfortable across a wide temperature range, which matters if the same poles go to a Hajar summer dawn start and to a cold mountain trip later in the year.

Additionally, an extended foam section sits below the cork. Drop your hand onto it on a steep pitch and you have a shorter pole without stopping to adjust, which is worth more on a switchback climb than any weight saving.

Beyond that, the flick-lock system adjusts length up to 140 cm, the poles collapse into three sections, and the wrist straps are soft and adjustable. This version includes interchangeable tips as well as removable snow baskets and rubber paws, plus a storage bag. Total weight is 464 g.

Product-Specific Use Cases

These belong on long Hajar days, Wadi Ghalilah and Jebel Jais, where the climb is sustained and your grip hand gets wet well before your legs give out. Rubber paws suit the slab and gravel you meet locally, and the interchangeable tips mean a worn pair does not retire the poles.
