Lock type and packed length matter more than the shaft material · review
PINUQUEST telescopic aluminium poles, 63–135 cm, 260 g per pole review
A telescopic aluminium pair with cork grips, a very wide range and a stated per-pole weight for both the aluminium and carbon versions — and no lock type and no packed length.
The bottom line Cork, a long range and an honest weight for each material. Then no lock and no packed length, which are the two things a telescopic pole is bought on.
What this listing puts on record
A pair of telescopic poles in stated aluminium, adjusting steplessly from 63 to 135 cm, with cork grips, a soft grip extension, extra-soft straps, four pairs of terrain attachments and a carry bag. Stated at 260 g per pole in aluminium, with a carbon version stated at 210 g per pole.
Two materials, two honest figures
Most listings that offer a choice quote one weight. This one quotes both, per pole, and lets the title say which version a reference is. That is the right way to publish it.
The range
63 to 135 cm, against stated heights of roughly 95 to 200 cm. It is a wide span, and the poles are sold for children, adults and older walkers on that basis.
The two things it will not say
No lock type. Stepless adjustment is stated and the mechanism behind it is never named. External levers can be tightened in the field; twist locks are the usual source of a pole that creeps shut under load. This listing does not let you tell them apart.
No packed length. A bag is supplied and its contents are not measured. Whether these travel inside hold luggage is unknown from the page.
Before ordering
Ask for the collapsed length if it matters to you. On a telescopic pole with a 63 cm minimum the answer is likely to be generous, and this listing will not confirm it.

What it does well, and where it gives way
Strengths
Publishes a per-pole weight for both versions it sells, 260 g in aluminium and 210 g in carbon, so the material choice can be costed in grams
Cork grips with a soft grip extension below the head, which is what you hold on a traverse
A stated 63–135 cm range, quoted against heights of roughly 95 to 200 cm
Compromises
No lock type named at all, on a telescopic pole where the lock is the whole specification
No packed length, so whether the poles fit a case cannot be established before they arrive
No section count, which on a telescopic pole with a 63 cm minimum is the figure that explains the range

What people ask before buying
Which weight applies to this reference?
The title names this one as aluminium, and the maker states 260 g per pole for aluminium and 210 g for carbon. Both figures are published; this page carries the aluminium figure as the one that belongs to this reference and reports the other alongside it.
Why does a grip extension matter?
On a traverse or a short steep section, you hold below the head rather than resetting the length. A soft extension is what makes that comfortable, and this listing states one. It is a detail three other listings in this hub also carry and most do not describe.
Folding · 115–135 cm · 35 cm packed, the shortest published here · Carbon 3K · 231 g per pole stated · natural cork grip with EVA extension · lock not named
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.
Best for: Travelling light with poles inside a case, where 35 cm packed and 231 g per pole are the figures being bought.
Folding carbon · 63–125 cm · 169 g per pole stated, the lightest published here · EVA foam grip · snow and mud baskets supplied · lock and packed length not stated
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.
Best for: A long day or a fast pack where every gram is counted and 125 cm is enough length for you.
