Our story
How we got our start
It started in a living room in New York City in 2016. It all began when we spotted a trend; overpriced, low-quality gear being sold as high end. We knew there had to be a solution. That’s when Montem Outdoor Gear was born.What makes our product unique
What started out as a trekking pole developed by hikers, for hikers became a passion for developing, and engineering the most ergonomic and innovative outdoor gear. Our mission is to bring you the highest quality gear, for the best prices, with a touch of style (11 colors!), and a lot of ingenuity.Why we love what we do
Simply put, we have a passion for the outdoors. We aren't a generic company looking to start a massive business, we just love making gear and getting it into your hands without forcing you to spend a lot of money. We love coming up with new design ideas, colorways, and advancements in our gear.Product Description
Strong, durable, and made to last, thats our promise. We've spent over 5,000 hours designing, testing, and perfecting our trekking poles so we can offer you top of the line gear.
What's so special about that? We use aircraft grade Aluminum 7075, not cheap alloys or mixtures and we treat our aluminum appropriately during the manufacturing process. We don't cut corners and put the integrity of our gear at risk. This allows the poles to take a beating and keep on going.
Don't just take our word for it. There's a reason we've been chosen by Backpacker Magazine and dozens of other publications as THE BEST trekking poles.
At just 9.6 oz per pole, they're lighter than the other models made with more affordable materials, but MUCH stronger.
Perfect for any hike, walk, or stroll in the park, these poles act as two extra points of contact, taking load off your back and offering security on the trail.

For years I thought trekking poles were excess equipment or for old people. Whether I was wrong, or whether I've just become an old person, hiking with poles is a much different, and more pleasant experience. I do agree that using poles uses more energy. So much was evident based on the lactic acid build up on day two and three. Going uphill I was able to maintain almost as fast a pace as descents. The poles were invaluable for two wide, fast river crossings. But the most value I got out of them was for foot/blister control and end-of-day cramp management, particularly during descent. The grips have very comfortable pommels on the ends of the handles. There were no sharp edges and the rubberized texture gave me an excellent grip (even though it would twist sometimes - the wrist strap helped keep the poles straight on longer downhill reaches). Also, grasping the poles by the grip pommel extended the effective length of the poles such that I didn't have any need to extend either section of the pole for descent. Held in this manner, for each step taken downhill my alternate-handed pole would be placed far out in front of my next step giving me a virtual brake on my velocity while putting all of the pressures from doing so on my arm muscles, taking significant stabilizing effort away from my legs. When hiking uphill, instead of shortening the poles, one can move their hand down on the cork grip to the foam lower grip. I still had leverage and did not need to stop for adjustments. (which also made the poles more reliable, because with the extended grips I didn't need to readjust the pole segment flip-locks, which meant that I wasn't at risk of having loose segments each day)
The synthetic cork-like grips provided good grip on bare hands and gloves. They did not absorb sweat from my hands, were easily cleaned with a damp cloth. The grip shape was comfortable in my both hands, are not left/right preference, but fit either hand. On a later trip I hiked with only one of these poles (having given the other to a hiking companion) and found that I changed hands occasionally based on switchbacks and other obstacles. Employing one pole was was almost as beneficial as using two poles: sped up the uphill hiking speed and gave me increased stability going downhill.
The hand straps are a thick nylon strapping with padding inside the straps. The odd part, and a little irritating, is the nylon strap hand protector, meant to protect the hand from the nylon strap. I would have expected the protector strap to have padding on it too, on the side facing the hand. I didn't experience any actual harm (no rash or blister) but I did use gloves more than half of the time. I suppose I don't have any real complaint about it, other than the design seemed a little underwhelming. The poles do not have an anti-shock system, but honestly I like being able to feel the ground beneath me. Plus, if I'm trying to carry load on the poles, why would I want a suspension system that is likely to wear out over time? I am confident that these poles will last me a long while!

Last week, I was hiking with a friend who brought her poles. I borrowed one of them to help with climbing over rocky terrain and from then on I was sold on the benefit of using them! I came home, did some research, and decided to order the Montem Ultra Strong Trekking Poles.
I have hiked twice since receiving them. The day they arrived, I headed to the state park that is 5 minutes from my home and hiked one of the trails there. It's an easy trail to walk so I wouldn't have really needed the poles but wanted to learn to use them and try them out. Then, yesterday, I went on a more challenging 7.6 mile hike in the North Cascade Mountains with my family. It was a much more challenging hike with lots of elevation gain and hiking over varied terrain. Here are my thoughts on these trekking poles:
On the first hike after I received them, I was more learning how to walk with them than really using them to help to help hike over uneven or difficult ground. The hike was an easy one with a friend and she and I both tried them out. While I could have easily done the hike without poles, I noticed that they were helpful in getting up the hills and that I didn't feel quite as tired going up the hills. They felt as if they helped propel me up the hill.
On the second hike, which was much more challenging, I noticed a huge difference in my ability to feel more stable when moving over the rocky parts of the trail, in walking thru the creeks we had to cross, and in feeling more secure crossing the bridges which had only one side with railings installed. Going up hills, while still not easy for someone who's not quite in shape yet, seemed more "doable" and a little less difficult because, again I felt as if the poles helped propel me up the hill a bit. My 20 year old son even used them for a while because he has a knee issue and commented they seemed to help him feel less stress on his knees.
The poles themselves are very easy to work. The flip lock adjustment system is smooth and simple to use. The flip lock feels a little flimsy, which makes me wonder if they'll hold up over time, but they held the poles firmly in the adjusted position with no sliding out of the adjusted position on the poles. The grips look like cork and feel very comfortable. Regarding the noise level using them, I found them to be fairly quiet with not much vibration noise. The few times they were noisy were the times when I tripped over them or connected one of them with the toe of my hiking boots. User error, not product fault! ha ha! There is a slight vibration noise occasionally when they may connect with a rock or tree root on the trail but overall they are quiet. They are lightweight and did not feel as if they added noticeable weight to my daypack.
Overall, I love them and look forward to using them as I make myself get out and do more hiking. I think they are a huge benefit for moving along the trail in a more stable and efficient way and I like the color choices they have as well. Their winning price point is a huge attraction for me as I could not have afforded more expensive poles and did not want to purchase something that was heavy, cheap, and wouldn't last. I expect the use these poles for several years to come!
I love supporting start-up companies who produce true top quality products so Montem will have my business and my recommendations to friends looking for hiking gear as well.
Unfortunately, on first use, discovered that on one pole the bottom segment plastic locking clip is detached/broken from the plastic collar above it. This means that segment is unable to be adjusted and lock to any height. Reached out directly to Montem (as it was past Amazon 30 day return period). They responded quickly and after sending photos, they are replacing the faulty pole. Very responsive and helpful customer service!!
