A telescopic pole made in collaboration with Kang — now in its second edition. Built from 100% recycled aluminum and refined for better durability and feel. Adjustable from 100-135 cm, featuring a 35 cm freeride handle and a detachable strap for skiing in avalanche terrain.Version 2 includes better adhesives, a new stop mark that prevents over-extension, an improved inner-tube design for a tighter, noise-free feel, and a stronger basket attachment.
There was a guy on the T-bar. He told us he had a ski pole brand that was all about sustainability. A word that always makes our mouths water. At the end of the T-bar we shook hands — whatever that meant. It was a good shake, not too hard and not like a dead fish.
Since then, we’ve kept skiing with their poles. The first pair we made together worked so well that we couldn’t resist making a second one — tighter, stronger, and even better built. Kang’s still Kang, and we’re still us. Just a bit wiser, and maybe a touch more obsessed with details.
Never underestimate encounters on the T-bar. Especially the ones that lead to a version two.

SUSTAINABILITY
Kang is focused on creating a more sustainable ski pole. Investing in extensive research at RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) to innovate in materials and design that reduce environmental impact. In a world where businesses must prioritize sustainability to operate within our planet’s limits, we believe Kang is seriously committed to making a difference.
Recycled: 100% recycled aluminum reduces energy consumption with up to 80% and CO2 emissions with up to 90% compared to new aluminum.
Made in Sweden For the components not produced by KANG, they use smaller Swedish manufacturers who share our care for people and the planet, by paying and treating their people well, with high quality tools and machinery.
Replaceable components Meaning that even when some parts are worn out you can get them replaced and keep using your poles for a long time.
Product Care
If you're keen on maximizing the lifespan of your product:
Transport: Always put the poles on top of the skis in the roof box, not the other way around.
Keep dry: Store them in a dry space when not in use.
Protect: Use strap or a pole bag to protect them from scratches and dings when not in use.
