Black Diamond First Strike Kids’ Trekking Poles

Common misconception: trekking poles are just for summiting mountain peaks or the weak/injured. Trekking poles are important for any explorer and hike where there may be steep paths or after a storm where it may be slick. Fully featured and built for any season, the First Strike is our two-section, adjustable pole for kids. For the adults, we recommend the LEKI Legacy Lite COR-TEC Trekking Poles. Lightweight without compromising performance.

Definitely a must-have for backcountry expeditions, the Talladega National Forest Pinhoti Trail Map is a classic backpacker’s almanac that keeps you safe and on track. A one-piece, double-sided map, this compact, and durable paper-print is laminated for protection.

Made with 18.5m superfine weave, suit-grade performance Merino wool, and a custom blend of man-made fibers selected for the best breathability and fit.
