US$38 each with free shipping (to Australia). US76 per pair. What’s not to like about this? I received a pair for Xmas. Stripped of the strap and its aluminium screw mine weighed 128 grams each on my scale and fold down to just under 50 cm (20”) – 51/110cm according to the Specs. They come in three lengths. Mine are Short – the shortest and lightest. The other two lengths are Medium 54/120 cm $ 140 grams and Long 57/130cm & 145 grams.
The hand grip is very positive but is longer than ether of us need, so that I think I could trim a few grams off that weight, probably bringing it to under 120 grams – if I wanted to forsake the screw fitting at the top – which is bigger than a camera thread anyway.
This is just marginally lighter than the new Gossamer Gear LT5 poles at 130 grams stripped (though they are longer – 60/130cm)) . However they cost US$195 per pair, plus shipping. I/we have been quite happily using Massdrop’s Fizan poles for daily use (US$60 per pair) at 158 grams though we took our Gossamer Gear LT4s to Everest as they only weighed 100 grams, (but they are very long – 85 cm/33″ according to my tape measure).
I really like the look and feel of these Naturehike poles. The three sections seem very solid and the locking mechanism is wonderful. They come with a lightweight strap and one basket. It is a ‘standard’ (Leki) thread so you should be able to replace it anywhere if/when you break it. At 20″ they will clearly slip inside any pack your are using.

Hi,
are you still using these? Any ideas for replacing the tips?
Thank you!
Yes I am but you can’t get spare parts. Cheers, Steve.
hey steve i was just about to ask the same question i have the same poles and wanted to replace the tips as it has eroded after heavy usage
surely the poles are not just a one off use poles till the tips are worn? that seems so wasteful as the poles are perfectly fine?
I managed to break a section of one of mine but the supplier was not able to replace it. If you can access spare parts please let me know. Cheers, Steve.
