Benefits of 3K Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles

Carbon fiber is known for providing strength and durability in a lightweight material, with varying levels of “filaments per tow”. This simply means that in 3k carbon fiber, there are 3,000 filaments per tow, 12k carbon fiber has 12,000 filaments per tow, and so on, with 3k being a popular choice for lightweight durability; with “tow” being the amount of carbon conveniently unwound from the reel for use in manufacturing. 3k is a workhorse in the carbon fiber category among 6k, 9k and 12k options. 

Uni-directional (UD), weaves are frequently used to make carbon fiber products with the weave arranged in one direction only. 3k carbon fiber provides added strength combined with malleability by providing a weave in both horizontal and vertical directions. This allows the trekking pole to absorb more force from both directions and are less likely to bend, snap or twist.
