Description

Komperdell's Zero series is their answer to the question every gram-counter asks, and the Carbon Ultra Zero is the long-range one. Three telescopic carbon sections tapering 18 to 14 mm, adjustable through a full 35 cm band, and light enough that you forget they are in your hands.

A genuinely wide adjustment range

105 to 140 cm is a big band for an ultralight pole. It means one pair covers a tall walker on the flat and the same walker shortened right down for a steep pinch, and it means the poles can be shared or handed on. Most poles this light make you give that up.

Foam cork grip

Komperdell's Trek Pro 280 grip blends foam and cork - the moisture handling of cork with the low weight and wet-weather grip of foam - and runs an extended grip zone down the shaft so you can choke down on a climb rather than stopping to shorten the pole.

Powerlock 3.0

The clamp is forged aluminium, external, and adjustable with a single screw. You can see whether it is closed, you can work it in gloves, and you can re-tension it years in. It is the strongest lock Komperdell make and it is on their lightest pole, which tells you what they think of it.

Weight

374 g the pair (187 g per pole).

FAQ's

How much do they weigh - is that per pole or the pair?
374 g for the pair, and 187 g per pole if you are matching against a spec sheet.

What length do they adjust to?
105 cm to 140 cm - one of the widest bands on any ultralight pole, so they suit a range of heights and every kind of terrain.

How small do they pack?
67 cm. As a telescopic pole they ride on the outside of a pack rather than inside it - if you need something that stows inside, look at the Compact version or one of the FX Lite folding poles.

Can I change the baskets?
Yes - the vario basket system swaps summer and winter baskets by hand, no tools.

Are they strong enough for a heavy pack?
Yes. Carbon is at its strongest loaded along the shaft, which is exactly how a trekking pole is used, and the Powerlock 3.0 clamps are the strongest in Komperdell's range.

What grip and strap does the Carbon Ultra Zero use?
The Komperdell Carbon Ultra Zero has a Trek Pro 280 foam cork grip with an extended grip zone, so you can hold the shaft lower on a steep climb without shortening the pole. The strap is Komperdell's Air Padded strap, padded and softly woven on the inside.
