Gear & Gadgets: Latitude Outdoors’ Carbon SS climbing sticks perfect for mobile hunters

This proprietary carbon fiber technology was originally developed for aerospace and automotive applications. One of the first applications was structural components on airplanes.

They needed a material that was ultralight, durable and could withstand extreme temperature changes (think about taking off from a 120 degree runway in Arizona and then being in cold temperatures at 30,000 ft in a matter of minutes).

That’s why this carbon fiber tech is perfect for mobile hunting gear. It’s ultralight. It’s durable. It’s warm to the touch. It eliminates metal noise. It excels at handling extreme temperatures.

The Carbon SS Climbing Sticks from Latitude Outdoors are designed to allow for flush stacking, making them more packable for saddle hunters and tree stand hunters. They are true 18 inch sticks, in contrast to some other premium, ultralight options. At only 1 lb per stick, they are the lightest climbing sticks made in the USA.

Made in the USA is an important point here. When using advanced materials to achieve premium specs, quality control is absolutely crucial. Quality control is difficult with overseas manufacturing. Carbon SS Climbing Sticks are TMA tested and approved. 5-year warranty included.

Take your carbon sticks to the next level of quiet with our custom Stealth Strip® kits by Stealth Outdoors. Each kit silences one stick so 4 kits are required to cover 4 sticks.
