Lightweight support for the hills

The Highlander Isle of Skye Walking Pole is a compact 3-section pole built from carbon fibre, tipping the scales at just 210g. It gives you reliable support on rough ground and when carrying a load, without the weight penalty that puts many walkers off using poles at all.

Set your length, lock it in

A twist-lock mechanism lets you adjust the pole from 100cm to 135cm in seconds, so you can shorten it for climbs, extend it for descents, and collapse it right down to stow on your rucksack. It is quick, secure and simple to use with gloves on.

Kinder on your joints

An anti-shock spring absorbs the impact each time the tip strikes the ground, taking the sting out of long descents and easing the load on wrists, elbows and knees. Combined with a soft-touch EVA grip and adjustable wrist strap, it stays comfortable mile after mile.

Grip on any surface

The hard tungsten tip bites into rock, mud and ice for sure footing, while the included rubber foot fits over the tip for paths and harder surfaces. It is a versatile setup that adapts to whatever the route throws at you.

Frequently asked questions

How light is the Isle of Skye pole?

It weighs around 210g per pole excluding the basket and rubber foot, thanks to its carbon fibre construction, so it is barely noticeable strapped to a pack or in the hand over long distances.

How does the length adjustment work?

The three sections extend and lock using a twist-lock mechanism, adjusting from 100cm to 135cm. That range suits different users, terrain and ascents or descents, and it collapses down for packing.

What does the anti-shock feature do?

A built-in spring absorbs the jarring impact each time the pole strikes the ground, reducing strain on your wrists, elbows and knees and improving stability on rough terrain.

What tip does it use?

It has a hard-wearing tungsten tip that bites into rock, mud and ice, plus a rubber foot you can fit for paths, pavements and indoor use.

Is one pole enough or do I need a pair?

This is sold as a single pole. Many walkers use one for extra support, while others prefer a matched pair for balance on steep or heavily loaded routes, so buy two if you want a set.
