Silva's All Season Alpine poles are built for the most demanding terrain and weather conditions. The two-piece telescopic construction uses durable 7075 aluminium with reinforced build and wider diameter shafts – robust enough for snowshoeing, ski touring and full-on alpine adventures where toughness matters more than saving weight. Adjustable up to 145cm with a secure flick lock mechanism, they collapse down to 82cm for transport. The extra-long cork handles give you comfortable grip wherever you need to hold them on steep ascents or traverses, and the Blueberry system lets you connect or release the pole in a single motion without taking off your wrist straps. The concave carbide tips are interchangeable if you manage to wear them down, and the poles come with small baskets fitted, plus medium mud baskets and large snow baskets included.
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.
