Folkrm poles built with the splitboarder in mind. The Kulshan is a folding and adjustable pole equipped with a more packable version of our long grip. The Kulshan allows you to store the pole directly in your backpack for descents or ultra technical ascents.
The Kulshan Poles are named after the great Mt. Baker, home of the core and platform of some of the wildest snowfall the world has ever seen. Designed for splitboarders, the Kulshan features a quick locking mechanism that allows the pole to be deployed like a probe and then adjusted to your desired height.
With a grip that is still long enough to accommodate quick pole length adjustments, once deployed you won't need to think about adjusting your pole again. Simply adjust your hand position on the pole to lengthen or shorten it for on the go pole length adjustment.

I like these a lot, but there is an annoying rattle coming from inside the shaft up in the grip section of each pole. Not at all a functional issue, more just feels like something loose inside. Maybe there's a way to fix this?

As a splitboarder, I was always jealous of my ski buddies having these beautiful, lightweight, perfectly gripped sticks to use on resort and in the backcountry. I borrowed a set on a day tour and loved the way the handles felt, and how quickly I could adjust my hand positioning without changing the grip. When Folkrm announced a foldable version for us...I did not hesitate to grab a set.
These things are super lightweight, ergonomic as hell, and the mechanisms of action are precise. I was happy to switch away from my Black Diamond adjustables and Folkrm will now be a mainstay. I really love the ribbed foam grip for a complete feel through any glove. They also resist holding colder temps if you decide to go bare handed, unlike other plastic or hard rubber based grips. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Just got these poles for technical ski touring/ ski mountaineering, I have the wyeast poles for most of my ski touring and absolutely love them. I have some z poles for running and I love how easy they are to stow when I get into some scrambling sections, so I got these poles to emulate that when I need to boot a couly or pull out the ice tools, but the make a really annoying click every time I move them around that I think is from the locking mechanism for the z fold. I’m still going to use them but I would love if they updated this and took it away. I also would love if they made a carbon version of this pole that was similar in weight to the wyeast pile as these feel a little heavy

I’ve been touring for almost 20 years and have been through plenty of different poles. These take the cake in function and durability! No need to look at any other option, get the Kulshans!
