The material mix of carbon (PRC 1000) and aluminium (HTS 6.5) ensures high stability, while the 20-millimetre carbon upper section can withstand heavy use. Thanks to the foldable Vario construction, the poles can be transported compactly. With Speed Lock plus, you can adjust it to any length between 120 and 140 centimetres.
