Every one of the trekking poles in the RidgeNote register with a manufacturer-published figure, placed on the distribution. 4 of 14 publish no weight and are listed below without a weight rank. 2 other products on this shelf are not trekking poles and are listed below, unranked. Figures are manufacturer-listed and dated on each product page; nothing here is weighed by us.
The least you can carry for what you are willing to spend — the frontier, not a favourite.

These trekking poles have no maker-published weight on record, so they are not ranked by weight.
Tips, baskets and straps are listed, not ranked.
Weights and prices are the manufacturer's published figures as recorded in the RidgeNote register; each product page shows the source and the date read where one is recorded. Percentiles count only models with a published figure; ties count neither way. Price is the maker's list price; a retailer's current price is never used. The register is re-read on a schedule, so this page reflects the catalogue as of its last build.
