Ultralight, Highly Packable Support for Fast-Paced Trails

​When speed, weight, and supreme packability are your top priorities, the Montbell U.L. Folding Pole delivers uncompromising performance. Engineered to provide immediate support and balance on technical terrain, this minimalist trekking pole is built from a high-strength, ultralight aluminum alloy. Available in two fixed lengths (113cm and 120cm), it deploys in seconds to help you navigate steep ascents and tricky descents, reducing the load on your joints so you can focus on fluid, fast-paced motion.

​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 36cm (for the 113cm model) or 39cm (for the 120cm model). It is compact enough to stash in a side pocket or inside a small daypack, yet steady enough to lean on during long, demanding days on the trail. The extended EVA grip is a brilliant touch, allowing you to instantly slide your hand up or down to adapt to changing trail gradients without breaking your stride.

​Key Features

• ​Incredibly Compact Folding System: The segmented shaft folds down to an extremely compact size, making it perfect for small daypacks, trail running vests, or carry-on luggage.

• ​Extended EVA Grip: A lengthened foam grip allows for instant, on-the-fly hand position adjustments to suit varying terrains.

• ​Ultralight Aluminum Shaft: Provides the right amount of stiffness and durability while keeping the overall weight to a mere 147g (113cm) or 153g (120cm).

• ​Smart Basket Design: Features a unique semi-circular trekking basket that packs completely flush and neatly against the folded shafts to save space.

• ​Important Note: These poles are sold individually. To purchase a pair for optimal trail balance, please ensure your quantity is set to 2.

Care & Maintenance

​To ensure the internal tension cord and aluminum shafts stay in top condition:

• ​Cleaning: After hiking in muddy or dusty conditions, wipe the shafts completely clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• ​Storage: Crucial step: Always ensure the pole sections are completely dry before folding them up. Store them fully folded in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent internal corrosion over time.
