Escape Carbon Tour are ultra-light trekking poles from the product Pro series of the Italian brand Gabel. The series is designed for intensive and professional use in the mountains, as well as for use in winter conditions during ski touring and snowshoeing. Due to its ultra-low weight and highly efficient locking system, the model is recommended for alpine guides and mountain climbers.
The Escape Carbon Tour model is designed for demanding mountaineers who prefer high-end products. The construction of the Escape Carbon Tour is telescopic and consists of three sections with diameters of 16, 14 and 12 mm. The length of the rod varies between 65 cm to 142 cm. The upper part of the rod is made of so-called Snake Carbon. This is Gabel's exclusive technology of harder, more durable and lighter carbon fiber than the competition. Snake Carbon allows you to create a product that is 20% more resistant to shocks and breakage and 18% lighter than ordinary carbon poles. In the process of manufacturing the crystallization of carbon fibers acquires a specific geometric and graphic structure type patern of a "snake skin". The lower section of the rod is made of F60 aluminum with a special coating (Diamond Finish) for increased resistance to mechanical impact and corrosion. The tip of the poles is made of lightweight tungsten carbide (Carbide), which ensures long life and excellent adhesion to various surfaces.
The lock of the model is characterized by a double (hybrid) mechanism (Multi Lock), which combines easy locking with clips (Fast Lock) and classic Top Performance Locking screw tightening (TPL system). The mechanisms are extended, which guarantees reliability, strength and long life of the rod. The handle is long and made of pleasant to the touch "Ergo Lite" soft foam with ergonomic shape. The well-thought-out design also includes a breathable Tech Lite wrist strap with a special coating with antibacterial formula for increased reliability and comfort in use. The strap can be easily removed and washed thanks to the Top Click System (TCS) release mechanism.
The combination of carbon and aluminum in this model guarantees lightness and reliability with wide application in all seasons, even during long, stressful technical transitions. Gabel Escape Carbon Tour is a model from the professional series of the brand and will be highly appreciated by all amateurs and serious mountaineers with skills and experience with hiking poles.
