Lockjaw Carbon Poll | 2026

These aren’t just your dad’s old poles; they’re a true backcountry tool. The combination of a carbon upper shaft and aluminum lower section keeps the poles lightweight while ensuring durability where it matters most. At the midpoint, K2 utilizes its lightest pole clamp yet, keeping weight down while allowing you to confidently adjust pole length depending on whether you’re headed uphill or downhill. At the top, an elongated EVA foam grip lets you comfortably shift your hand placement based on preference and terrain. Finally, a built-in bubble inclinometer in the handle makes it easy to get a general sense of the slope angle when you’re out in the backcountry. The Lockjaw Carbon Pole delivers everything you’d want from a lightweight, bombproof touring pole—reliable performance that’s built to last for years.
