KEYTYTAR folding carbon poles, 63–125 cm, 169 g per pole review

The lightest per-pole weight published in this hub at a stated 169 g, on a folding carbon pair with the lowest maximum length here and no lock named.

The bottom line The lightest published figure in the hub, on a pole that will not tell you what locks it or how short it folds. Check the 125 cm ceiling against your height first.

What this listing puts on record

A pair of folding carbon poles adjusting from 63 to 125 cm, with soft EVA foam grips, adjustable wrist straps, snow baskets and mud baskets, stated at 169 g per pole.

The weight

169 g per pole, stated in the title and again in the bullets, and stated per pole both times. It is the lightest published figure in this hub, and the gap to the other end — 325 g — is large enough to feel over a day.

Note what carries that weight: carbon, stated to damp vibration and to reduce mass, and a shaft that fails suddenly rather than bending.

The ceiling

125 cm is the lowest maximum published here. Every other pole that states one reaches 130 or 135 cm. On a descent, length is what keeps your weight off your wrists, so this is the figure to check against your own height before anything else.

What it does not publish

No lock. A folding system is described as quick to set up and quick to stow, and nothing says what holds it extended.

No packed length. The poles are stated to fold compactly into a rucksack or luggage, and no folded figure is given — which is unusual on the pole most obviously sold for travelling.

No section count. No tip described, although snow and mud baskets are supplied.

Before ordering

Measure 125 cm against your height and your usual descents. It is the constraint on this pole, and the weight is what you get in exchange.

What people ask before buying

Is 169 g per pole believable?

It is what the maker states, twice — in the title and in the bullets — and it is stated per pole rather than per pair. It is the lightest published figure in this hub, against 325 g at the other end. What the listing does not publish is the lock, and on an ultralight carbon pole the lock is where the weight is usually saved.

Is 125 cm long enough?

That depends on your height and your descents. Every other pole in this hub that publishes a maximum reaches 130 or 135 cm, so this one stops lower than any of them. A pole set too short on a steep descent puts your weight on your wrists, and the listing offers no sizing guidance.
