Ultralight, Highly Packable Support for Fast-Paced Trails

​When speed, weight, and packability are your top priorities, the Montbell U.L. Folding Pole delivers uncompromising performance. Achieving an ultra-lightweight design at a mere 139 grams, this trekking pole can be deployed in seconds from even the smallest daypack or trail running vest to provide immediate support and balance on technical terrain. Designed to reduce your load and allow for fluid, fast-paced motion, it is the ultimate tool for fastpackers, minimalist hikers, and traveling adventurers.

​Why We Love It

​At X-Boundaries, we obsess over ultralight gear that doesn't sacrifice functionality. We love the U.L. Folding Pole because it practically disappears in your pack, collapsing down to just 32 cm. The extended EVA grip is a brilliant touch—instead of stopping to adjust the pole's length on rolling, undulating terrain, you can simply slide your hand up or down the grip to instantly match the gradient. Plus, it includes a dedicated, packable nylon storage case to keep dirty poles from muddying up the inside of your backpack.

​Key Features

• ​Incredibly Compact Folding System: The shaft folds down to an extremely compact 32 cm (12.6 in), allowing it to easily stow away inside small daypacks or carry-on luggage.
• ​Extended EVA Grip: A lengthened foam grip allows for instant, on-the-fly hand position adjustments to adapt to changing trail gradients.
• ​Smart Basket Design: Features a unique semi-circular trekking basket that packs completely flush and neat against the folded shafts.
• ​Exclude Storage Case: Get the 21g, 70-denier nylon carrying case that packs into its own pocket. Ideal for stowing dirty poles safely inside your bag.
• ​Important Note: These poles are sold individually. To purchase a pair for optimal knee relief and uphill power, please select a quantity of 2.
