Aluminum Hiking Poles - Alpintec Runner

Foldable Alpintec Runner hiking & trail running poles made of 7075 aluminum. Lightweight, compact (33-34 cm), with EVA foam handle & quick-deployment system

When mountain trails, trail running and long-distance hiking on demanding paths require maximum stability, minimal weight and instant adaptability —whether for trail running athletes, mountaineering and trekking enthusiasts, or demanding hikers— the foldable Alpintec Runner hiking poles (Codes: T43-110, T43-115) offer the ultimate balance of performance and reliability.

Made from high-quality 7075 aluminum alloy, they provide excellent resistance to stress while maintaining an exceptionally low weight (just 175-180g per pole). The innovative three-section folding design allows the poles to collapse to just 33-34 cm, making them easy to store and carry inside or outside your backpack.

They feature an ergonomic EVA foam handle that wicks away moisture and provides a secure grip, combined with an adjustable wrist strap to reduce hand fatigue. Thanks to the quick-deployment and secure-locking system, the poles can be transformed from a compact size to full length within seconds, providing immediate support when time and safety on the mountain are critical.
