The Iceline Trekking Poles, made in Canada by Durston Gear, are adjustable, foldable 3-section trekking poles for hiking. They aim to combine low weight with simple adjustment and a build designed to reduce common failure points.
The concept focuses on using a single external adjuster and a quick connection on the lower section, so you can change the length and, when it makes sense, reduce the packed size by disconnecting the tip section.
When to use them
They fit well on trips where you carry poles every day and want to save weight without giving up an adjustment system that’s easy to operate with gloves or cold hands. They’re also useful if you alternate between hiking and sections where you need to stow them in your pack from time to time.
If your top priority is maximum compactness at all times, note that the exact folded length isn’t specified; the length reduction depends on disconnecting the lower section.
Design
The structure is 3-piece, but with only one external adjuster: the lower section does not telescope and attaches via a “Quick Connect” mechanism. In practice, this reduces complexity compared to systems with two locks and makes it easier to repeat a specific length without readjusting multiple points.
The quick connection lets you separate the lower section (the tip area) to shorten the set when you store it. The use of aluminum parts in the external adjuster and the joint is intended to prioritize reliability in a component that takes twisting and impacts.
Made of carbon
The pole shaft is made from high-strength carbon (Premium Carbon), with a clear goal: stiffness and control at a low weight. On lightweight poles, flex can contribute to fatigue and less precise pole plants; here, the material and section design aim to limit that flex.
The external adjustment system and “Quick Connect” parts are aluminum. In real use, this often translates into a more solid feel at the locks and more straightforward maintenance than internal twist-lock solutions, though exact performance will depend on care and cleaning.
