The Blackthorn is a carbon-bodied trekking pole designed for hikers and trail runners who want a lightweight, responsive pole without moving to a full carbon price point. The carbon shaft reduces weight and absorbs trail vibration, while aluminium outer clasps keep the locking mechanism robust and reliable.

Hikers and trail runners looking for a lightweight carbon pole that offers better vibration dampening than aluminium at a practical price.

Not ideal for
Conditions requiring maximum tip grip or full accessory compatibility — check tip and basket options before purchasing for specialist terrain.

Additional features
- The carbon body absorbs trail vibration for a more comfortable stride on long descents
- TPR and EVA combined handle provides grip and cushioning across varying conditions
- Tungsten steel tip for durability on hard and rocky surfaces
