MSR DynaLock Ascent trekking poles: simple, strong and light

Z-folding trekking poles

After shortening, the ultra-short folding design has existed for several years. It is conceivable that this design can be seen everywhere in the outdoor industry.

The basic concept is similar to that of a tent pole: each section can be joined together and fixed in position by the internal wire tightening, and the button on the top is snapped to be fixed.

Simple, sturdy and light-not surprisingly almost every manufacturer offers this type of trekking pole version. MSR is the latest brand to enter the market in the fall of 2018. DynaLock Ascent carbon fiber trekking poles are their most refined and lightest product.

Not only the first but also the only one! Z stick that can be used in snow-MSR DynaLock Ascent

The charm of DynaLock Ascent is reflected in many detailed designs. My favorite is the DynaLock locking system and the wrist strap, both of which require no tools and can be easily adjusted at any time.

In addition to the design details, three amazing qualities make it unique among trekking poles: durability, packability and adjustability of folding poles.

It should be noted that the folding trekking poles in the general market are specially marked as not suitable for snow trekking (the problem of strength and snowboard).

The body of the DynaLock Ascent folding trekking pole is made of carbon fiber and coated with Kevlar bulletproof fiber. It has good strength and high durability, and can reach the use level of snow hiking-which makes it a unique existence, truly simple, strong, Lightweight, it has become a great choice for many ski skiers, climbers and ski climbers.

The measured characteristics of the following stroke:

Featured details:

Length: Divided into S size and L size, 20 cm adjustable

DynaLock Ascent offers two lengths, S size: 100-120cm and L size: 120-140cm.

I am 160cm tall. I chose the 100-120cm version which is lighter. Johnson 173cm is also suitable for the 100-120cm version. The 20cm adjustment length can be adjusted to the comfortable range of elbow bending. Or you can manually grasp the extended foam grip to quickly adapt to up and downhill.

Packability: small size, easy to carry

The folded storage size of the S size is 36 cm, which is equal to the diagonal of A4 paper, super invincible and short! Can be easily put in a backpack.

The most obvious feeling is in the rear compartment:

When the external hangers are put into the rear compartment together, there is no need to worry that the trekking poles will be too long to press or puncture other people's bags, and there is no need to put them separately and forget to bring them when you start.

On the mountain:

Over complicated vegetation or terrain, when I need to temporarily retract the stick and hang it on my hand, it will no longer be the Nth obstacle that will trip me at any time. When I raise my hand, it is even longer than my elbow.

Hang the DynaLock Ascent externally on the left side of the backpack. It is small and difficult to hook on branches or rocks.

The storage size is short, and it will no longer be the Nth obstacle that trips me when it is over complicated vegetation or terrain.

DynaLock locking system: fast adjustment of tension

The Dynalock name comes from the new adjustable locking system, which can be locked without a screwdriver. In addition, the cleat opening faces the rear, which is a small but important design. This means that the trekking pole manufacturers cleat will not get stuck in bushes or branches when skiing and unintentionally opening.

In the past, there were two problems when trying to lock trekking poles temporarily: one was that I was afraid that I would lock the knob too tightly, causing the stick body to break, and the other was that there was no suitable tool to lock trekking poles in outdoor activities.

The DynaLock lock design is very user-friendly. The lock piece is like a light switch. It can be easily opened and closed with one flick and one press. The pinion that adjusts the elasticity is intuitive and easy to adjust. Like this time when climbing in the snow season in Japan, wearing thick gloves can still adjust the elasticity. impressive.

Mudguard \u0026 Snow Board:

Mudguard: Compared with general trekking poles, it has a smaller diameter and has the same function, but is lighter.

Snowboard: Provide support in the snow to prevent trekking poles from falling into pine snow and being damaged. The wave grooves on the snow block have been designed to be used with MSR bear paws.

Wristband: Quickly adjust the tightness

MSR's wristband adjustment is impressively fast and convenient, especially when paired with folding trekking poles, the effect is extraordinary.

When dealing with up and down slopes, in addition to the 20cm space of the rod itself, which can be adjusted quickly, another method is to shift the position of the hand grip. The EVA foam has a special lengthening extension. It has anti-slip force and comfortable regardless of bare hands or gloves. Good grip.

I especially like to adjust the length of the wristband along with the grip position to give extra support to both hands.

DynaLock Ascent is the best trekking pole that I have ever encountered to adjust the wristband. It can be adjusted by a slight pull. When the weight of the hand falls, the tenon of the wristband will automatically bite and fix the length. This is also suitable for quickly adjusting the size of the wristband when changing thin and thick gloves.

When changing thin and thick gloves, you can quickly adjust the size of the wristband, the only Z-folding trekking pole with snow resistance

Overall evaluation:

MSR DynaLock Ascent is currently the only Z-folding trekking pole that can be used in the snow. It has an ultra-small package size after folding. The strong body improves durability. The convenient and well-tuned locking design and wrist strap must be experienced by yourself. Will find the bright spots.

Simple, sturdy and light: suitable for high mountains, flat grounds and three seasons

The rod body material is high in strength, and it can be used in snow seasons.
