UPDATED FOR 2026! At just under 6 oz per pole, the Andesite NEOs are perfect for long distances, steep descents, and lightweight packability. Within just a few steps, they'll feel like an extension of your arm with their comfortable EVA handles and twist-lock adjustability; your knees will thank you later.
Andesite NEOs—four wheel drive for your legs. And Viking Approved.
Co-designed with The Real Hiking Viking for long distance hikers that are looking for an all-day reliable pole that can go the distance; the Andesite NEOs are simple in design yet thoroughly thought out. Ultralight is the main focus of these sturdy poles at just under 6 oz per pole, with a full twist-lock, double cam adjustment and a durable EVA handle with soft-touch satin wrist strap. Now redesigned for 2026 with 3-sections for ultra-compact portability, and, yes, you can likely check these bad boys in your luggage.
Sold as a pair, this carbon fiber trekking pole set will be the ultimate companion on your next thru-hike; so bomber we decided to design a UL tent shelter that sets up in conjunction with them, the Mtn Shelter NEO (Coming Soon - Spring 2026).
For your next thru-hike, consider the Mountainsmith trifecta: Andesite NEOs, a Zerk 40 backpack and a Mtn Shelter NEO series tent (1 or 2 Person) for the ultimate backcountry assortment, weighing in around 6 lbs total for pack, poles and shelter!
