Silva says: 

Enhance your balance and stability with the Trekking Poles Aluminum Z-fold. The aluminum poles are foldable and lightweight for minimum pack weight. They feature an adjustable length from 115 to 135 cm, comfortable foam and cork handles, and adjustable wrist straps to provide support on your hike.

Foldable, adjustable, and lightweight

The Z-fold trekking poles are easy to fold and carry when not in use. When collapsed, they measure 37 cm, and when extended, they offer an adjustable length from 115 to 135 cm. Made from high-quality aluminum, they are lightweight, weighing just 280 grams per pole.
Comfortable with great grip in all terrains

The trekking poles feature extra-long handles, allowing you to adjust your grip to the terrain. The handles are made from durable and comfortable foam and cork. The soft wrist straps are adjustable for optimal comfort and wrist support during your hike. The poles come with concave carbide tips for maximum grip on hard surfaces and are interchangeable with the included snow baskets or rubber tips depending on your needs.

Our Verdict

The Silva Trekking Poles Aluminium Z-Fold come in at 294g per pole, putting them at the sturdier end of the scale, but they make up for that in durability and comfort. The cork and foam grips are comfortable even after long days. The flick-lock adjustment feels reliable, and the 37 cm folded length means they stow easily inside or outside a pack.

I appreciated the included accessories—snow baskets and rubber tips—for adapting to mixed terrain, and the carbide tips gave good bite on rock. These aren’t the lightest poles out there, but for the price and build quality, they feel like a well-judged compromise between performance and packability.
