Hiking Staffs That Convert to Monopods


Camera Staffs
We have a full line of hiking poles and trekking staffs, but we wanted to present a couple of unique poles for those of you who like to snap some photos. Both of these models will get you down the trail and then convert to a stable monopod for your camera or spotting scope.

Sherlock Staff
In addition to a comfortable contoured foam grip, the Sherlock staff has a foam sheath that encases the upper half of the staff. Its length adjusts with a sure locking button depressed through the outer foam sheath. It has an adjustable Wedge Lock wrist loop, a removable walnut knob with a universal camera mount, and a spike tip beneath a removable rubber foot.

Sierra SAS
Sierra (SAS) Soft Antishock System This single staff is a dream pole for birders, photographers, hunters. Underneath the solid wood knob is a universal screw mount to accommodate scopes, cameras and a “Y” Attachment for a gun. The comfortable Foam Gripping surface is also helpful for anglers looking for the perfect trout…we can’t help you get the fish but we can help you navigate the rocky stream. The 360° turn back security of the Super Lock System (SLS) was proven to be the strongest by TUV, an independent testing lab. The Soft Antishock System (SAS), Carbide Flextip and the Rubber Tip for pavement use makes this one all around pole. Real Customer Quote: “The Sierra is my hiking buddy. I never leave home without it or my camera. The monopod is a great idea. Keep up the good work!”

Sigg Bottles


This Swiss made product delivers all the benefits of a lightweight, durable, eco-friendly, leak-proof water bottle in a subtly, sophisticated style. Extruded from a single piece of aluminum and coated with a patented secret formula liner, this water bottle will not leach anything harmful into your beverage. It will not give your beverage any plastic taste or overtone. You can carry nearly any liquid in it (like fruit juices) without leaving the tast in the bottle. By using a single re-usable bottle, you will reduce the number of plastic bottles going into the landfill (or recycling process). Good for you, good for the environment.

El NaturaLista Clogs


El Naturalista clogs express a different way of thinking and acting.
Being a naturalist entails respect for a rich, profound philosophy
that lays its trust in life and attributes everything to Nature. The
Iggdrasial is made from vegetable-dyed leathers and recycled rubber -
part of El Naturalista's holistic approach to shoe design. They come
in a variety of fun colors for spring and summer.

New Sanuk Styles


The Donny Sidewalk Surfer from Sanuk is a cool, casual slip-on with
Donavon's flavor. Sanuk designed the Sidewalk Surfers using Barefoot
UnTechnology, creating a sandal-shoe that allows your foot to bend and
flex the way nature designed you to walk. The loose upper allows your
foot to spread so it can absorb shock naturally. Get the year-round
style and protection of a shoe with the comfort of a sandal.
