Lock type and packed length matter more than the shaft material · review
The shortest packed length published in this hub at 35 cm, on a Carbon 3K folding pair stated at 231 g per pole — with no lock named and no tips supplied.
The bottom line The pole to fly with: 35 cm packed and 231 g per pole in carbon. Then no lock, no tips and no baskets, which is a lot of blank for a specification-led purchase.
A pair of folding poles in stated Carbon 3K, adjusting from 115 to 135 cm, folding to 35 cm, with a natural cork grip and a non-slip EVA grip extension, a transport bag, and a stated weight of 231 g per pole.
35 cm is the shortest packed figure published in this hub. It is also the specification that decides how poles travel: inside hold luggage or strapped to the outside of a pack, where they catch on branches and on other people.
Height in centimetres × 0.68. No other listing here publishes one. The band the pole actually covers is 115 to 135 cm, which is the narrowest in this hub, so the rule and the hardware do not cover the same range of walkers.
No lock. On a folding pole this is the mechanism — an internal cord and a button, usually — and it is not described.
No tips, no buffers, no baskets. The stated contents are the poles and a bag. Every other listing in this hub supplies something for the ground.
No section count.
This site covers walking, trekking and camping. The listing uses the word Bergsport; nothing here advises on mountaineering or on how a pole behaves as support on technical ground.
Budget for tips separately, because none are listed.

The maker states pole length is your height in centimetres multiplied by 0.68. It is the only sizing rule published in this hub. Note that the pole itself adjusts only between 115 and 135 cm, so the rule runs out at both ends of that band and the listing does not say what to do then.
On most folding poles it is an internal cord and a push-button, sometimes with a lever for fine adjustment. This listing describes neither. It states the poles fold, states the adjustment range and names no mechanism, which is the same silence five of the nine listings in this hub share.
This one is Carbon 3K, stated. Carbon is lighter and stiffer than an aluminium alloy and it fails suddenly rather than bending, and it dislikes being levered sideways between rocks. That is a difference in behaviour rather than in quality, and it is worth knowing before ordering.
