Silva's Carbon Z trekking poles are built for hikers who want lightweight, compact support without compromise. The adjustable length (115–135cm) adapts to varied terrain and personal preference, while the Z-fold design collapses down to just 38cm for easy storage when you're not using them. Made from lightweight T300 carbon, they balance strength with low weight. The extended full-cork handles give you comfortable grip wherever you hold them, and Silva's 'Blueberry' system lets you connect or release the pole in a single motion without taking off your wrist straps (quick-release straps are included, but you can also pair the poles with other gloves or straps from the Silva range). The concave carbide tips are interchangeable if you manage to wear them down, and the poles come with both small and medium mud baskets.
It’s a bit of a cliché to say, ‘this brand needs no introduction…’, but sometimes it really doesn’t. If you ever did scouts, guides or cadets, got epic blisters on a D of E expedition or went on an outward bounds residential, chances are you did it with a Silva compass in the pocket of your boil-in-the-bag cagoule.
Like so many world-changing inventions, the Silva compass began as a problem that needed solving. Back in the day, your standard compass wobbled all over the shop, making it tricky and time-consuming to get a decent reading. That is, until 1933, when four Swedes invented a liquid-filled compass. The resistance from the fluid slowed and stabilised the needle, meaning you could nail a reliable bearing in seconds. Navigation was never the same again.
But iconic as the compasses are, they’re only one part of the Silva story. They were one of the first companies to make reliable electric head torches for the outdoors, and they’ve also branched out into optics, trekking kit and other navigational gear. Tried and tested for the better part of a century, Silva’s precision instruments have literally been the difference between life and death for generations of outdoor adventurers – and as brand pedigree goes, that’s pretty much impossible to beat.
