Carbon fiber is widely used in the aerospace and aircraft industry due to its light weight, corrosion resistance, and insignificant response to temperature changes, but due to its low crack resistance, it has always been controversial whether it should be used on trekking poles. The Komperdell C3 Carbon Power Lock applies the self-developed "Carbon F200" technology, which arranges carbon fibers in a circular shape in multiple layers, increasing the weight capacity of the climbing pole from 50 kg to 200 kg without increasing the weight of the cane. The Power Lock length adjustment system also allows the user to quickly adjust the length of the trekking pole while wearing gloves, which is very convenient. The system won the VOLVO Sports Design Award at ISPO Winter 2006.
 
The Titanal Contour is made of 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, which is processed from a high-density aluminium alloy, which is comparable to steel in strength but only one-third the weight of steel. Overall, Komperdell trekking poles have the advantage of being lightweight and durable. However, all of Komperdell's products are produced in Austria, and it is not convenient to buy them in China, and the price is between $100~$200.
