Ultralight build, trail-ready strength—T800 carbon shaft, secure locks, and replaceable tungsten tips.
Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0
Built for hikers who count ounces but still want real trail confidence, the Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 combine a T800 carbon fiber shaft, secure aluminum alloy locks, and replaceable tungsten tips in an ultralight setup. At about 5 oz per pole, they help reduce swing weight on long climbs while giving you better balance on loose rock, mud, snow, and uneven trail surfaces.
These adjustable carbon trekking poles are made for day hikes, fastpacking, trekking, and mountain travel where lighter gear matters. The EVA foam grip stays comfortable over long miles, and the breathable strap helps reduce hand fatigue when terrain gets steep or technical.
Product Description
The Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 are ultralight carbon fiber trekking poles designed for hikers who want lower carried weight without giving up trail stability. Each pole weighs about 143 g (5.04 oz) and uses a T800 carbon fiber shaft for a strong, light feel on the move. If you are comparing ultralight hiking poles for long days, steep ascents, or mixed terrain, this is the kind of setup that keeps your kit lighter while still feeling dependable underfoot.
The ergonomic EVA foam grip is built for comfort during long hikes, while the heat-pressed honeycomb mesh strap adds breathable support. A quick aluminum alloy lock system lets you adjust pole length from 110 to 135 cm (43.31 to 53.15 in), so it is easy to shorten for climbs and lengthen for descents. Replaceable tungsten tips help maintain traction and extend service life across rock, dirt, and variable trail conditions.

- ultralight trekking poles for hiking and backpacking
- carbon fiber hiking poles with adjustable length
- trekking poles with foam grips and breathable straps

FAQs
Which hiking poles should I choose for steep trails?
Look for a light, stiff pole with secure locks and easy length adjustment. Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 use T800 carbon fiber and aluminum alloy locks, making them a strong option for steep climbs and descents.
How do carbon fiber trekking poles compare to aluminum?
Carbon fiber poles are lighter and help reduce swing fatigue, while aluminum poles are usually heavier and may bend rather than crack under hard impact. Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 use T800 carbon to keep weight low while maintaining a stiff, trail-ready feel for hiking and backpacking.
Why is my trekking pole slipping, and how do I fix it?
After dusty, wet, or big temperature changes, lock tension may be slightly affected. Fine-tune the lever-lock tension using the integrated hex wrench in the tip section (Watch: Fix Trekking Pole Slip in 10 Seconds).
Can I mount a camera on these poles?
Yes. Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 can be paired with Asgard VersaMount Lite or Asgard VersaMount Mini for lightweight on-trail filming.
Do Asgard Hydrogen Poles support the VersaBasket?
No. Hydrogen Poles are designed as ultralight carbon trekking poles and do not support the VersaBasket system. If you want action camera or snow basket compatibility, please consider the Asgard Ridge Ski Poles or Asgard Hybrid Poles, which both support the VersaBasket accessory.
Where can I learn proper technique?
See our step-by-step tips here: How To Use Trekking Poles.
Can I use Asgard Hydrogen Poles for skiing?
Asgard Hydrogen Poles are designed mainly for hiking, trekking, trail running, and mountaineering, not for skiing. If you want poles built specifically for skiing, with reinforced shafts, longer grips, and integrated camera mount support, see the Asgard Ridge Ski Poles.
How should I size trekking poles?
Start with your elbows at about 90 degrees on flat ground. Shorten the poles for uphill travel and lengthen them for downhill sections. Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 adjust from 110 to 135 cm (43.31 to 53.15 inches), so you can fine-tune the fit for different terrain.
Are these good for long hikes and backpacking?
Yes. Their low weight, EVA foam grip, breathable strap, and adjustable length make them a strong option for long trail days, backpacking trips, and hikers trying to reduce overall fatigue.
Do the tips wear out?
Like all trekking pole tips, they wear gradually with use. Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 use replaceable tungsten tips, so worn tips can be swapped without replacing the full pole.
Are Asgard Hydrogen Poles 2.0 carbon fiber trekking poles?
Yes. They use a T800 carbon fiber shaft for a light, strong feel on the trail.
How much do these ultralight hiking poles weigh?
Each pole weighs about 143 g / 5.04 oz, or about 286 g / 10.09 oz per pair.

I took these poles on a weekend backpacking trip in Colorado, and they made a huge difference. The ultralight design meant I didn’t feel weighed down, yet they were strong enough to handle rocky terrain. The quick height adjustment came in handy when switching from uphill climbs to downhill descents, and the grips stayed comfortable even after hours on the trail. My knees and balance thanked me the whole way—definitely a must-have for serious hikers.

These poles saved my knees on a 10-mile hike. Super light, easy to adjust, and they don’t slip. Can’t believe I used to hike without them.
