Product Information

Full details

The Trail Outdoor Leisure Fliplock Walking Poles are designed for hikers, trekkers, and outdoor enthusiasts looking for increased stability on uneven terrain. These lightweight aluminium poles offer the significant benefit of rapid height adjustment via an external fliplock system, making them highly versatile for changing landscapes. However, users should be mindful that they require manual tensioning adjustments if the locking levers feel loose over time.

FAQs

What is the weight of these poles?

These poles are constructed from lightweight aluminium, balancing durability with a weight suitable for extended hiking.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

Yes, the kit includes snow baskets designed to provide extra stability on snowy or icy ground.

What should I do if I exceed the 'STOP' line?

Immediately retract the pole section until the 'STOP' line is no longer visible to prevent damage to the locking mechanism and maintain structural integrity.

Are the wrist straps adjustable?

Yes, the straps are fully adjustable to ensure a secure fit, which helps reduce the risk of dropping the poles on inclines.

Do these poles come with a carry bag?

Yes, a 210D polyester carry bag with a drawcord and strap is included for convenient transport.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections keep sliding down during use

Increase the tension of the fliplock lever by tightening the small screw on the side of the locking mechanism while the lever is in the open position.

The fliplock lever is too stiff to close

Loosen the tension screw slightly until the lever closes with firm but manageable pressure.

Tips are slipping on hard rock surfaces

Ensure the correct rubber or boot tip attachment is securely fitted over the steel tip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast and intuitive fliplock height adjustment
  • Comprehensive set of terrain-specific attachments included
  • Lightweight aluminium construction reduces arm fatigue
  • Collapsible design fits easily into most backpacks
  • Safety features like the 'STOP' line prevent structural failure

Cons

  • Fliplock levers may require occasional tension adjustment
  • Aluminium can be prone to bending under extreme weight loads
  • Hard plastic handles may be less comfortable than foam grips for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your poles, release the fliplock levers and extend each section to your desired height, ensuring you do not pull past the visible 'STOP' marking. Once set, snap the levers firmly shut to lock the sections in place. To ensure longevity, always clean the poles after use, especially if they have been exposed to mud, grit, or saltwater, as debris can interfere with the locking mechanisms. When not in use, collapse the poles and store them in the provided carry bag to prevent scratching or accidental damage. If a fliplock lever becomes loose during use, use the small adjustment screw found on the lever mechanism to increase tension.
