Description
This Trekking Pole Extension piece allows you to connect two River Country Products trekking poles together end to end. This is useful for making on long pole as required for the Trekker Tent 4 and the Trekker Tent 3, as both tents are taller than a normal trekking pole. If you purchase the Trekker Tent 3 or 4 with poles, this piece will already be included.
This extension piece is 20.5” long and weighs 3.7oz. It is made of a carbon fiber/aluminum mix just like our River Country Products trekking poles. It features two clamp style fasteners on either end, allowing you to connect to trekking poles together easily and without slipping.
While we do not guarantee that this trekking pole extension piece will work with all styles of trekking poles, it will likely work with other trekking poles that are not produced by River Country Products.

Another item I’m not familiar with, but decided to buy because of the price and I was recommended on getting poles for my 5 day 4 night trip in Olympia, Washington. These worked a ton! Helped take a lot of the impact off the knees. I wish these could compact even more, but I still was able to fit them inside the river county product backpack when I was flying (there’s a perfect spot to put the poles when not using). I did notice that if you put to much weight on them they will loosen over time, I’m not sure if that’s a common thing with trekking poles, but just be aware when you’re walking you might have to adjust the poles a couple of times. I would also be worried about over tightening them, not sure if over tightening will break them or stripe them.
