Overmont Trekking Poles 7075 Aluminium

Hikers and backpackers who want a pair of poles that packs down for the journey may find the Overmont set worth a closer look. It combines adjustable shafts with a folding design and a carry bag for storage between trips.

The 7075 aluminium construction and supplied tips and baskets point to use across several kinds of terrain. The details provided do not include a weight or load rating, which may matter if those are part of how you choose trekking poles.

This may suit you if you want one pair with accessories for pavement, gravel, dirt, rock, mud and snow. It won't suit you if you need a stated load rating before deciding.

Technical details

This is a two-pack of tri-fold trekking poles made with 7075 aluminium shafts. The metal flip locks allow a 15 cm adjustment range, so you can set the length to your preference. The folded poles measure approximately 38 cm, and the included carry bag keeps the pair together when packed.

Each pole has an EVA handle with textured grooves and an adjustable wrist strap. The set includes four rubber tips, two boot tips, two snow baskets and two mud baskets. That gives you options for changing the contact points to suit a walk on pavement or a route that includes loose ground, mud or snow. The product details do not state the poles’ weight, a full length range or a load rating.

Getting the most from it

There are no compatibility requirements listed for these poles. Their usefulness instead depends on setting them to a comfortable length and choosing an included accessory that suits the surface. On a mixed route, for example, you could use the rubber tips for a paved stretch and switch to a suitable basket or boot tip when the ground changes.

The folding format is a practical distinction from poles designed to stay assembled: these collapse for storage, while the flip locks let you adjust their length when in use. If you prefer a simpler setup with fewer parts to keep track of, a basic fixed-style pole may be more appealing. Without having tested them, the listed adjustment range and accessories are the main basis for judging their day-to-day fit.

Usage tips

Set the pole length within the available 15 cm adjustment range and keep the shaft below its marked STOP line. That warning matters: extending beyond the mark is specifically discouraged in the product information. Secure the flip lock after adjusting, and position the wrist straps so the handles feel comfortable in your hands.

For a day hike, the carry bag can keep the folded pair and loose accessories together in your pack. Before setting out, select the tips or baskets that match the route rather than assuming one accessory is intended for every surface. After the walk, fold the poles and store the pieces together to make the set easier to manage next time.

Before deciding

How short do the poles fold? They collapse to approximately 38 cm, which is the listed packed length.

How much can their length be adjusted? The metal flip locks provide a 15 cm adjustment range. The full minimum and maximum lengths are not stated.

What comes in the set for different ground? It includes four rubber tips, two boot tips, two snow baskets and two mud baskets, as well as the carry bag.

Before you buy

Choose this set if a compact folded format, adjustable length and several surface-specific accessories are more useful to you than a stripped-back pair with fewer pieces. The 38 cm folded design gives you a clear packing reference, and the range of included tips and baskets may help when a route moves between pavement and less even ground.

The trade-off is that some selection details are missing: there is no stated weight, load rating or full length range. If those figures are essential to your decision, the available information may not answer enough. If your priority is a collapsible two-pole set with a 15 cm adjustment range and accessories for varied terrain, the listed features give you a concrete basis for considering it.
