TSL, a French expert in hiking and snow sports

The history of TSL Outdoor

Founded in Haute-Savoie in the early 1980s, TSL has become a major snowshoe manufacturer over the decades. The brand has helped make snowshoeing widely accessible through innovative, affordable models.

Building on this expertise, TSL gradually expanded its range to trekking poles, Nordic walking, gaiters and various outdoor accessories.

Innovation for outdoor users

Since its creation, TSL has developed solutions to improve users' performance and comfort. Binding systems, traction technologies, adjustment mechanisms and folding systems demonstrate this ongoing commitment to innovation.

TSL trekking poles: stability, comfort and performance

TSL trekking poles are designed for all terrain, from mid-altitude mountain trails to more demanding treks. They help distribute effort, improve balance and relieve strain on joints on long outings.

TSL folding poles

Folding models appeal to hikers seeking minimal packed size. Folded, they fit easily inside or on a backpack. They are particularly popular for trekking, travel and activities requiring frequent pole storage.

TSL telescopic poles

Telescopic poles offer great versatility through adjustable length. They adapt easily to climbs, descents and different user heights. Their robustness makes them ideal for regular hiking.

Occasional use on waymarked trails places different demands on equipment from winter mountain hiking on rolling terrain.
