Meridian Carbon Poles

Poles turn a hard descent into a controlled one and a creek crossing into a non-event. The Meridians run three carbon sections with aluminium flick locks — the failure point on carbon poles is never the tube, it's a twist lock creeping under load, so we don't use twist locks.

Cork grips wick sweat and take the shape of your hands by the third outing, with a foam choke-up extension below for steep sidehills. Includes trail baskets and snow baskets: one pair of poles, twelve months of use.
