Each pole is listed at 139 g; the maker describes EVA foam grips and includes rubber boots, but does not identify the built-in basket as a snow basket.

Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- A research-based candidate for a hiker who wants a very light, adjustable three-section carbon pair, EVA foam grips and a usable setting at or below 130 cm, and whose pack can accept a 60 cm pole. Its weight is specified per pole, so compare only with sources that disclose the same basis.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- The telescoping sections collapse to 60 cm, substantially longer than Gossamer Gear's folded FT3. Carbon-fiber loading limits and replacement-section compatibility deserve attention; the cited product page warns against levering the shaft sideways or using it to arrest a fall. Snow-basket inclusion is not documented, and the 139 g figure is per pole rather than an asserted pair weight.
