Zpacks Minimalist Trekking Poles are back, featuring stiffer, lighter Carbon Fiber, and lighter hardware resulting in an unmatched weight for a clasp-lock style trekking pole.

Sleek, sturdy clasp lock mechanisms are convenient and reliable, and the removable, interchangeable ultralight baskets are perfectly sized for most trail conditions.

Measurement lines in both English and metric units make finding the right height for your tent or your grip a breeze.

When weight is at a premium, our Minimalist Trekking Poles allow you to navigate the most rugged of terrain without sacrificing performance or function.

These things are sweet. Light as a feather, and stiff as a board. I love the additional grip down low under the handles. Adds way more versatility on steeper grades.

Don’t tackle peaks and valleys alone, always take a friend, and in this case take two!   Our trekking poles are made from ultralight, ultra-strong carbon fiber, with sturdy clasp locking mechanisms. They have a foam or cork handle for a comfortable sweat free grip.

In addition to being fantastic trekking poles, they can also be used to set up all of our Plex tents excluding the Altaplex.

The staff is a delight. It’s sturdy, light and easily packed. We’ve tried to think of ways that it might be improved, but we’ve come up short and will just have to keep thinking.

Our Carbon Fiber Staff allows you to support your full weight using two hands on rough terrain, while keeping one hand free on more moderate sections. This staff is an ultralight, extremely strong alternative to Zpacks Trekking Poles. It can fold down for compact packing, or can be folded to the correct height to prop up any of our tents.

Solid and lightweight. Works well with the Altaplex.

Our universal trekking pole jack slides over the tip of your trekking pole to boost the length for pitching taller tarps and tents.

It has an insert to catch your trekking pole tip and keep it centered and vertical. The insert is on a spring to adjust to different tip lengths. It will fit virtually all pointy trekking pole tips.

This pole jack will boost your pole height by about 10-10.5" (26 cm).

Works great, extremely lightweight, and adds living space to the Duplex and Triplex. Highly recommended!

Need a lift? These fabric cups make it easy to prop up the head or foot of your shelter for more space. You can use a trekking pole with the handle up (out of the mud), or a tent pole, or a stick. The cup catches your pole handle, or tent pole tip securely and without any hassle.

32" (81 cm) Tent Poles are just the right length to prop the head or foot of our tents. Or use a 48" (122 cm) pole at the head or foot of a flat tarp.

One end of the pole cup has a loop that you can attach to any tie out with a lark's head knot. The other end has a Lineloc V sewn on so that you can adjust your guy line.

Additional Cord Not Provided 

These carbon fiber Trekking Pole Lower Sections will fit any clasp-lock trekking poles with a 12mm diameter lower tube, which is common on many brands. They will fit all of our past and current trekking poles. Swapping out the lower section is the easiest way to replace a worn down tip or a broken tube, or simply to drop weight from your older poles.

The measurement lines are marked specifically for our new/current 2026 model Minimalist and Standard Carbon poles. They have English measurements on one side, and metric on the other.

If the measurement lines don't match your older poles, use a sharpie to mark your usual grip height and tent pitch height.

These weigh just 1.1 ounces (31 grams) for the Carbon section, plus .1 ounce (2.8 grams) for the removable basket. Baskets are included.

These replacement trekking pole baskets work with most standard trekking poles including our Carbon Fiber and Minimalist trekking poles. Our ultralight baskets weigh just 2.8 grams each, 5.6 grams per pair!

These replacement trekking pole clasps are replacements for the clasps found on the upper segment of our Carbon Fiber and Minimalist trekking poles.
