FAQs
Can I use these poles in the snow?
Yes, they are all-season compatible and can be fitted with standard snow baskets for better floatation.
How do I determine the right height for me?
A good rule of thumb is to set the height so that your elbow forms a 90-degree angle when the pole tip is on the ground.
Are the tips replaceable?
Yes, the tips are designed to be removable and replaceable with various accessories like rubber feet for pavement.
How do I maintain the cork grips?
Simply wipe them with a damp cloth after hikes. If they get extremely dirty, you can use a very mild soap and soft brush, then allow them to air dry.
Do these poles come as a pair?
Yes, the Mountview Trekking Poles are supplied as a 2-piece set.
Troubleshooting
Pole sections collapse during use
Adjust the tension of the flip lock by tightening the small screw on the side of the mechanism while the lever is in the open position.
Difficulty locking or unlocking the lever
Ensure there is no dirt or debris inside the locking clamp. Clean the area and ensure the tension screw is not overtightened.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and highly portable design
- Moisture-wicking cork handles prevent slipping
- Quick-adjust flip locks are more intuitive than screw locks
- Suitable for year-round use across different trail conditions
- Adjustable straps improve safety on steep descents
Cons
- Requires periodic tension adjustment of the flip locks
- Cork handles may require a break-in period for maximum comfort
- Carrying bag is a separate component that can be lost
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your poles, flip open the locking levers, extend the sections to your preferred height using the printed markings, and snap the levers shut. If the poles collapse while in use, the tension screw on the flip lock may need a slight clockwise turn to tighten the grip.
Compatibility: These poles feature a standard thread size compatible with most universal snow baskets, rubber asphalt tips, and mud saucers.
Care Instructions:
- Always extend the poles fully and wipe them down with a dry cloth after use to remove grit and moisture.
- Never store the poles while wet, as this can lead to corrosion in the locking mechanism.
- Avoid using oils or lubricants on the locking levers, as this can cause them to slip.
