How scoring works
The same GearScore engine the comparison pages use. This is the default weighting; open the full comparison to re-weight it around your trip.
GearScore blends published specs into one 0 to 100 number. Max length is a "good enough" gate; weight and packed length score on a sliding scale. Price is a lever presets turn on. Material, fold style, and lock type are shown but not scored.
Customize on the full comparison →- Sufficiency
- Only needs to be good enough. Max length works this way: long enough to set to your height and the pole is set, extra length adds no points by default.
- Monotonic
- More (or less) is always better. Lighter beats heavier and a shorter packed length beats a longer one, so they score on a sliding scale.
- Preference
- Material and fold style are personal preference, never scored. They only filter the list.
