Gossamer Gear FT3 Folding Trekking Poles

Gossamer Gear FT3 Folding Trekking Pole - pair featherweight carbon fiber with plush EVA foam so nothing slows you down.

Built as a folding evolution of the best-selling LT5, the FT3 is the pole of choice for fastpacking and trail running, when the terrain shifts and you need to grab (or stow) your poles in seconds.

You get the same sleek ultralight construction and premium materials, now folding neatly into thirds. Three-piece carbon fiber shafts weigh just 178 g per pole and collapse to 38 cm, then extend from 115 cm to 130 cm through a single locking section. It's a pack-friendly, grab-and-go setup that keeps your hands free on scrambles, stream crossings, and technical descents.

A custom-molded EVA foam grip and adjustable nylon wrist strap keep pressure off your hands on long efforts, so you stay comfortable mile after mile. 

The shelter icon on the shaft is calibrated to the Gossamer Gear One and Two ultralight shelters for a fast, confident setup every time. Running a different shelter? Start at the icon and fine-tune from there.

To maintain long-term performance, simply rinse the shafts after muddy or salty adventures and loosen the clamp before extended storage.

NEVER BREAK STRIDE

Pack them away when you don't need them and have them ready in seconds when the trail turns steep. No more carrying poles unnecessarily or wishing you had them when the terrain gets challenging.

PERFECT PITCH

Simply extend each pole to the built-in shelter icon and you'll have the exact height needed for a perfect pitch with the Gossamer Gear One and Two tents.

LESS WEIGHT. MORE DISTANCE

At just 178 g per pole, the FT3 keeps your pack light and your stride strong. Carbon fiber shafts and precision-molded EVA foam grips provide lightweight comfort that lasts all day.
