Ultra-Lightweight Foldable Carbon Poles with Quicklock System

The Vipole Approach Carbon Trekking Poles are ultra-lightweight, foldable hiking poles designed for performance, portability, and ease of use. Constructed from 100% HM Carbon, these poles deliver exceptional strength while minimising weight and vibration, making them ideal for fast-paced hiking, trekking, and alpine adventures.

Featuring Pop-Up foldable technology, the poles collapse down to a compact size for easy transport and storage, while still offering full adjustability between 110cm and 130cm. The Quicklock system allows fast and secure length adjustment, even when wearing gloves, making them ideal for changing terrain and weather conditions.

The thin shaft design (12/14/16mm) improves balance and reduces swing weight, while the RoundHead EVA grip offers versatile hand positioning for comfort on both flat and steep terrain. The Automatic Plume strap ensures a breathable, lightweight, and comfortable fit during extended use.

Equipped with a carbide tip for superior traction, plus interchangeable baskets and rubber pads, the Vipole Approach Carbon poles are built for versatility across different surfaces. Complete with a deluxe carry bag, they are the perfect companion for hikers seeking lightweight, packable performance.

Vipole — Engineering Detail

Technologies

The design and engineering features that make Vipole poles perform on the trail.

Material

Alu 7075

Aluminium is the best material for pole construction: strong, adaptable to the specific mechanical processes required for the various components, and environmentally friendly as it is fully recyclable.

Vipole uses exclusively 7075-F56 aerospace-grade alloy. All aluminium components undergo an anodising process, making them resistant to oxidation and corrosion.

Design

Thin Shaft 12/14/16mm

The thin shaft technology reduces the diameters of individual pole sections to 12, 14, and 16mm respectively. The result is a lighter, well-balanced pole with reduced swing effect and improved wind resistance.

Adjustment

Quicklock

The Quicklock system allows you to adjust pole length quickly and easily. Pull the lever, set the desired length, and close the lever again.

Particularly suited for ski mountaineering or winter use — the lever allows length adjustment even while wearing gloves.

Foldable

Pop Up

Pop-Up technology combines the advantages of an extremely compact pole (only 34cm when closed) with the practicality of an adjustable-length pole via the QuickLock system. Just two steps to extend: insert the two lower sections and pull them into the locking position. Length is then adjusted using QuickLock.

Grip

Roundhead

The Roundhead grip allows the poles to be held from the top, enabling a relaxed pace on flat surfaces and slow walks, while also providing a secure hold on very steep slopes.

Strap

Automatic Plume Strap

The Plume strap is the benchmark for comfort. Made entirely of high-tenacity polyester and completely seamless — exceptionally soft, breathable, durable, and lightweight. It also saves 9 grams per pair compared to a standard strap.
