POLE FOR ULTAMID2

Cmon mid users. Help me out. What would you suggest?

Hi Mate

I'm not sure what the weights of those poles you are looking at are. I just bought a pole for a Luxe Sil Hex and ended up going with a Luxe pole which is 270 grams and was about $50 AU posted. Extends from about 140cm – 165cm.

The only other options I found was the same pole basically from backpacking light in the UK but cost was heaps more with the postage. They also carry a hiking pole joiner which is pretty light weight so I might grab that as well for when I carry the hiking poles. You need to email and ask for the correct postage of the joiner though as its a huge amount when you just chuck it in your cart….

I have the Rota Locura .600 pole in 60" length with the pole adjuster.

Weight is 155 grams total with two elastic loops to hold the parts together and a plastic strip lock with an elastic loop glued to the top to
give me place to attach my Bearpawd inner when bug conditions require an inner.

My Ultamid 2 pole (RL .600 Custom), is also my hiking staff and my tenkara rod.
