Alloy alumnium trekking pole and carbon trekking pole, which one is polular?
Generally speaking, the difference between aluminum and carbon trekking poles is mainly in weight and durability. The trekking poles are made of carbon fiber, titanium alloy, aerospace grade aluminum alloy and general aluminum alloy, from light to heavy. Carbon fiber and titanium alloy are the materials used for the higher priced alphas. However, because alphas belong to mountaineering consumables, relatively economical and durable, so aluminum alloy trekking pole is the mainstream of the market.
