What our customers say:

“The Raceday Edition Skyrunner is hands down the best trail running poles I’ve ever used. As someone who competes in ultra-marathons, I need gear that’s lightweight and reliable, and these poles deliver on both. The carbon construction makes them incredibly light, but they’re also tough enough to handle the most technical trails. The grip is super comfortable even during long races, and the compact foldability is a huge bonus for when I need to stash them quickly.”

Chris L., Ultra-Marathon Runner


"I’ve tried a lot of running poles, but the RaceDay Edition SkyRunner stands out. These poles are feather-light yet provide the stability I need on steep ascents and uneven surfaces. They’ve become an essential part of my gear for skyrunning and mountain races. The fast deployment feature is a game-changer during races when seconds matter. Plus, they fold up small enough to carry without any hassle.”

These poles have made every adventure more enjoyable and safer.”

"As an outdoor enthusiast who's hiked in all kinds of conditions, I can honestly say the Mountain King SuperTrekker is the best trekking pole I've ever used. The durability is exceptional—I’ve used it for everything from casual walks to intense multi-day hikes, and it still performs like new. The lightweight aluminium design makes them easy to carry, and the shock absorption is great for my knees, especially on descents. I wouldn’t hit the trails without them."
