Few things can make your hike safer or more enjoyable than a trekking pole, and the GeoPath Hiking Staff from 12 Survivors comes with the features backcountry adventurers rely on. Weighing just 9.6 ounces, this aluminum pole extends from 25.8-52" by means of twist-locks, so it will can be used by hikers of all sizes. It has a carbide tip for gripping tough terrain, as well as a removable rubber tip and a trekking basket for loose or soft ground. Inner springs provide a comfortable cushion as you walk, 10.8" foam grips are a pleasure to hold, and a soft wrist loop keeps the pole handy if you need to use your hand for a task. Like all trekking poles, the GeoPath staff can be used as a makeshift tent pole, and it's great for knocking down big spider webs across the trail.
