Durston Iceline Trekking Poles

Durston Iceline Trekking Poles - are the lightest 3-piece adjustable trekking poles globally, offering a packed size of 49 cm and adjustable lengths between 95 cm - 127 cm. These poles utilize a unique, weight-efficient design, combining the compactness of a 3-piece pole with the reliability of an external adjuster. 

The Iceline poles achieve their strength through high-quality Carbon fiber construction and larger diameter tubing, including a 16 mm tip section, which reduces breakage risk. Unlike most 3-piece poles, the Iceline replaces the lower adjuster with a quick-connect mechanism, eliminating extra weight, complexity, and potential points of failure. This design provides a lightweight yet sturdy structure that excels in horizontal load tests, offering low flex and high durability for demanding treks.

Constructed in Austria by Komperdell, a renowned manufacturer, the Iceline poles focus on reliability with features such as a single external aluminum adjuster and a robust quick-connect lower mechanism. The poles come with a 5 g Dyneema stuff sack made from recycled tent fabric. Despite the lack of hand straps and baskets (for strapless version), the poles prioritize a minimalist approach suited for ultralight trekking, emphasizing balance and ease of use over traditional weight-bearing techniques.

Key specifications include an EVA foam grip, carbide tips, and telescoping upper sections secured with a lever lock. With their compact, travel-friendly design and attention to weight savings, the Iceline poles are ideal for backpacking and day hikes. They cater to users seeking ultralight durability without sacrificing reliability, excelling on varied terrain, from casual trails to rugged wilderness expeditions.

You can choose between two options: a lightweight version without a wrist strap or a version that includes a wrist strap for added support.
