External clip clamping: This system uses external clips to lock the poles together. It allows adjustment over a fairly wide range, from 70 cm to 140 cm on some models.
Internal screw clamping: This system uses an internal screw to lock the strands. It is lighter and offers enhanced performance, thanks to a larger clamping surface. It also allows adjustment over a wide range of lengths.
Tightening with reinforced inner rope: This system uses a reinforced rope inside the pole to ensure locking. It is a fast and precise system, but can have a slightly more limited adjustment range than other systems.
Winter washers: These washers are wider and have a larger diameter, giving them better bearing capacity on snow and preventing them from sinking in too deeply.
Summer washers: These washers are designed for better maneuverability on rough trails. They prevent your poles from getting stuck between rocks and make your progress easier.
Aluminum: Poles can be made entirely of aluminum, which gives them a certain strength, but they can be a little heavier than carbon poles. 7005 aluminum has undergone significant improvements, making it possible to find lightweight, reliable aluminum poles.
