Foldable, compact and optimised for weight – the perfect touring pole for physically demanding terrain, where poles are often packed away for the more challenging sections. The compact women's version is suitable both in winter for ski trips and in summer for demanding hikes. For this reason, it uses a unique carbon fibre structure reinforced with strong aluminium in the lower section. It comes fitted with the new Aergon Air Compact and so offers even greater comfort and control. Thanks to Speed Lock 2 plus, it is easy to adjust the length between 100 and 120 cm, even when wearing gloves. The pole measures just 38 cm when packed away, so can be easily be tucked away in a backpack when climbing those steeper sections. The ski touring pole comes with a large binding basket, which also helps when coping with climbing tools and climbing skins.
