Great experience purchasing trekking poles from Apex.
They saw my interest and reached out to offer their support. Communication was easy and efficient. I went for the carbon fibre poles and they're fab.
Definitely recommend!
Perfect. I do long distance desert bike packing where water is king. A mountain bike rider laden with 20 kilos of gear in the Mojave, is taking a huge risk to ride without adequate water source.
Water weighs 1 kilo per litre. The water back pack is absolutely essential for your survival. Balance, comfort, ease of use and designed to not fail. My Apex Pro series is just perfect.
First-time I've had a pack like this but I'm pleased with the quality, weight and integration with the poles. Holds lots and works well.
Excellent service and shipping.
Great trekking poles. Extremely light weight. Customer service was quick to answer my questions with photos upon request. Comparable to expensive competitor. Will be using on hunting trips to haul out meat and double as a bipod on rough terrain.
The X34 backpack is an outstanding choice for hikers of all levels, offering a combination of durability, comfort, practicality, and the value far exceeds the price. Key features I found were most appealing were the weather-resistants, ergonomics, and a place to store trekking poles. The gear is high-quality, reliable, and designed for various terrains and weather conditions. Priced reasonably, this all-in-one package provides excellent value and convenience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves exploring the outdoors!
Whether you’re tackling the steep scree slopes of Mt. Yamnuska or enjoying a pristine afternoon at Moraine Lake, the right gear makes the difference between a great day and a painful one. But when it comes to stability, one question dominates the trail: Should you choose Carbon Fiber or Aluminum trekking poles?
