Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Hiker Walking Pole is designed for hikers, trekkers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require additional balance and joint support on uneven terrain. Its primary benefit is the combination of lightweight materials and an integrated anti-shock system that reduces impact on the wrists and elbows during long descents. While these poles offer excellent durability and stability, users should note that the plastic mud baskets are specifically optimized for softer ground and may require careful handling on rocky or abrasive surfaces.

FAQs
How do I determine the correct pole length?
Hold the pole handle with your arm at your side, bend your elbow at a 90-degree angle, and adjust the pole length until the tip touches the ground.
Are these poles sold in pairs?
This model is designed as a standard walking pole, typically used individually, though many hikers choose to purchase two for maximum balance.
Can I use these on concrete or asphalt?
While durable, the tips are designed for trails. Using them on hard pavement will wear down the tips faster than on dirt or grass.
How do I clean the locking mechanism?
Disassemble the sections carefully, clean with a dry cloth to remove dirt, and ensure no grease or oil is applied to the locking threads.
Is the anti-shock feature adjustable?
The anti-shock feature is generally integrated into the spring mechanism of the shaft and is not typically adjustable in tension.
Troubleshooting
Pole sections keep collapsing
Ensure the internal locking mechanism is clean and fully tightened by rotating the shaft sections securely.
Anti-shock system feels stiff
Check if there is debris lodged in the spring area and rinse with clean water, allowing it to dry completely.
Mud basket keeps falling off
Check the attachment point for debris; ensure the basket is pushed fully onto the retention notch until it clicks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your poles, unlock the telescopic segments, extend them to your desired length, and rotate to lock firmly into place. Ensure the locking mechanism is secure before applying full body weight. For compatibility, the poles are suitable for most standard hiking trails. Maintenance is simple: wipe the poles down with a damp cloth after every hike to remove grit and mud, especially from the locking joints. Always store the poles in a dry, indoor environment to prevent corrosion or damage to the internal locking springs.
