Trekking Pole Hardware

I have purchased several items including a vest, wrap, and accessories for the vest. I love all the products, but more than that, the customer service has been beyond anything I have experienced with another company. The personal attention and going above and beyond to answer questions or address an issue has blown me away and I will keep coming back to Orange Mud! Now, if only they could make me run faster! :)

I ran the Mount Baker Ultra marathon this past weekend. This race required many skill sets and a stout required packing list. I used the OM Endurance pack for the lower elevation running sections, then transitioned to the OM 20L Adventure Pack for the mountain climbing portion. The packs worked perfectly for all the stuff that we had to haul. I attached my trekking poles and ice axe to my Adventure Pack using the Trekking pole hardware. They worked perfectly. I took a couple good tumbles and my gear stayed secure! I've used a lot of different items in the Orange Mud inventory and I will say, this stuff is good to go!

Although I haven't bought my trekking poles yet I can see that these straps will be exactly what I need when I start hitting the steep climbs.

The double barrel is definitely my favorite product for the longer trail runs & mountain trekking adventures... I’ve been running with a double barrel for as long as I can remember & just recently purchased & tested the “Accessory Bag for VP2.” along with the “trekking pole ties”. The bag is perfect for fitting everything I need, like nutrition & a rain jacket. The trekking pole ties/ holders worked okay, mostly because I don’t think they are designed for my older (yet still in great shape) vest. I’m dying to buy & test out the Endurance Pack. It looks like I can load all my fuel up front & my poles perfectly around the back. 100% happy customer!

These trekking pole securing additions are simple & effective. I positioned 1 on the top & 1 on the bottom, per pole (left & right rear of pack). I’ve only had 1 securing device elastic not hold the pole in its slot (fix: turned plastic piece so the elastic held more securely).
