" For mountaineering, backpacking and trekking, poles that are strong, lightweight and easily adjusted are critical. The genius behind MSR’s Talus™ TR-3 Trekking Poles starts with our innovative Trigger Release mechanism, which allows for on-the-fly length adjustment, letting you react quickly to the changing terrain of ascents, descents and sidehill traverses. Our SureLock™ System delivers the confidence of zero-slip performance, and a three-section shaft offers ultimate packability. "
Trigger Release One-Handed Adjustment: One-handed, on-the-fly pole-length adjustments provide the fastest, easiest response for matching terrain.
SureLock™ System: Positive-locking mechanism delivers the confidence of absolute no-slip performance.
Ultralight Strength: Light, strong and reliable 7,000-series aerospace-grade alluminium construction.
Ergonomic Grip: Works with a broad range of hand sizes, and ergonomic, ventilated straps deliver breathability in warm climates.
Effortless Swing: Low-profile adjustment mechanism high on the pole reduces shaft weight for a uniquely effortless swing.
These are wonderful trekking poles, providing great support when carrying heavy packs. The one handed trigger adjustment system is incredibly useful, to be able to continuously alter the length for the different terrain; reducing the likelihood of tripping up, and to create even more of a stable platform for a descent with a heavy rucksack!
