Durston Gear Iceline trekking poles (Pair + DCF stuff sack)

World's Lightest 3-Piece Trekking Poles

The Iceline trekking pole uses a unique lightweight design to create a lighter, stronger and more reliable trekking pole. It has the convenience of storage of a 3-section pole body and the reliability of an external adjuster. By removing unnecessary weight, the weight is only 135 grams.

The following is a brief introduction to the performance and reasons behind the design.

- Efficient Design A common drawback of 3-section trekking poles is that they require double adjusters. Dual adjusters are not necessary (a single adjuster will provide adequate adjustment range), but will add weight, complexity, and may make the mount more susceptible to slippage. The Iceline trekking pole adopts a more optimized solution: a quick-connect mechanism replaces the lower adjuster, making the storage size shorter (comparable to a 4-section pole), and making the pole lighter, simpler, and more reliable to adjust. In daily use, it behaves like a 2-section trekking pole, but the pole head can be removed for more compact storage when needed.

In terms of the pole body, further weight reduction is achieved, including a tighter fitting handle (requiring less glue) and a lighter pole tip design. Even the matte surface treatment has been carefully considered to achieve weight reduction based on aesthetics and performance. This lightweight design allows Iceline trekking poles to invest more in strength and reliability, such as using higher-strength carbon fiber and a larger diameter pole barrel (16mm), providing better performance without increasing weight.

- Strong and durable
Iceline trekking poles are made of high-quality, high-strength carbon fiber, plus a larger 16mm diameter pole tube, which can maintain a lower degree of bending even when subjected to larger horizontal loads, providing a more stable use experience and reducing the risk of breakage. Compared with similar products, Iceline trekking poles have obvious advantages in load resistance and bending resistance.

-External adjuster Unlike similar lightweight trekking poles, Iceline uses an external adjuster, which is not only easier to adjust, but also simpler to maintain and has a lower risk of slipping. The external regulator provides a wide adjustment range of 95-127cm.

-Quick Connect In daily use, the Iceline trekking pole behaves like a two-stage pole, but if more compact storage is required, the pole head can be removed using the quick connect mechanism. This mechanism not only makes the storage size shorter, but also lighter, simpler, and quicker to adjust the length of the pole without the risk of slipping.

-Larger diameter pipe
Iceline trekking poles use a larger 16mm diameter tube, especially at the bottom (usually the part where other trekking poles are most likely to break), which greatly improves strength and rigidity.

- Matte finish
Iceline trekking poles adopt a matte surface treatment, which not only looks more upscale, but more importantly can save several grams of coating weight, reflecting our persistence in the pursuit of lightweight.

-Quality and reliability
Iceline trekking poles are custom-made by Durston in Austria by Komperdell, a recognized high-end trekking pole manufacturer with a century-old history. Komperdell uses its highest-grade carbon fiber materials to achieve excellent performance and low weight.

-The storage bag is made of ultra-light Dyneema® fabric recycled from the Pro Series tents and weighs only 5 grams.

One of the key goals of the Iceline trekking poles was to improve reliability and ease of use. Many lightweight trekking poles have internal "twist-on" adjusters that are prone to slipping, or external adjusters that use plastic parts. The Iceline trekking pole uses a single, more reliable external aluminum alloy adjuster, which greatly reduces the risk of failure. The quick connection mechanism at the bottom is made of aluminum alloy parts, so there is no risk of sliding.

In summary, the unique and efficient patented design of the Iceline trekking pole has established a new standard for ultra-light trekking poles. At 135 grams, it is the lightest adjustable and stowable trekking pole in the world, while also making it stronger and more reliable. Whether it's a one-day trek through the Grand Canyon or a multi-week trek through Alaska's Brooks Range, the Iceline trekking pole is a pleasure to use.
