FAQs
Can I use these poles on paved roads?
While the tungsten carbide tips are designed for trails, they can be used on paved surfaces, though you may prefer adding rubber feet (not included) to reduce noise and wear.
How do I determine the correct pole length?
Stand straight with your arm at a 90-degree angle to the ground; the top of the pole handle should be level with your elbow.
Are these poles suitable for snow?
These are primarily for hiking and Nordic walking; they lack the wide baskets required for deep snow support.
What is the weight limit per pole?
These poles are designed for balance and support rather than carrying heavy loads; they are tested for standard walking stability.
How do I maintain the grip straps?
Keep the straps clean and dry; if they become salty from sweat, rinse with fresh water and air dry.
Troubleshooting
Pole length keeps slipping during use
Ensure the twist-lock mechanism is tightened firmly by rotating the sections until a distinct resistance is felt; avoid over-tightening.
Difficulty separating telescopic sections
Gently tap the side of the pole or use a light penetrating oil on the joint if debris is causing a jam, then wipe clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your poles, twist the sections to unlock, extend to your desired height while staying within the visual limit markers, and twist firmly in the opposite direction to lock. Always ensure the lock is secure by applying downward pressure before placing your full weight on the pole. For care, avoid using lubricants on the internal locking threads as this can cause them to slip. After use in wet or muddy conditions, disassemble the sections and wipe them clean with a dry cloth to prevent grit buildup and corrosion. Store the poles in a dry, ventilated area to preserve the integrity of the materials.
