Product Information

Full details

The Trekmates Carbon Pole - Pair - Black is designed for hikers and trekkers seeking to reduce fatigue and enhance stability on long journeys. Its key benefit is the significant reduction in strain on shoulders, elbows, and wrists due to its lightweight carbon fiber construction and foldable design. A potential consideration is the need to ensure the lever locks are securely fastened before use to guarantee optimal support.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum extended length of the poles?

The poles can be extended up to 125cm.

How compact are the poles when folded?

When folded, the poles measure approximately 38cm, making them very easy to store and transport.

Are the mud baskets and ferrules interchangeable?

Yes, the mud baskets and rubber ferrules can be easily swapped out depending on the terrain you will be traversing.

Can these poles be used for snowshoeing?

While the mud baskets can offer some flotation on packed snow, these poles are primarily designed for hiking and trekking on dirt, rock, and hard surfaces. For deep snow, wider snow baskets are typically recommended.

How do I adjust the length of the poles?

Unfold the sections, extend them to your desired length until the alignment indicators are visible, and then firmly close the lever lock on each section.

What material are the poles made of?

The poles are constructed from 3K Carbon Fibre throughout all sections.

How much do the poles weigh?

The carbon fibre construction makes them ultra-lightweight, minimizing swing weight during use.

Troubleshooting

Poles feel unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all lever locks are fully engaged and tightened. Check that the pole sections are correctly aligned and have not been damaged.

Lever lock is difficult to fasten or loosen.

Clean the lever and the corresponding slot. Check for any debris or ice that might be obstructing the mechanism. Apply a small amount of dry lubricant if necessary.

Traction is poor on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the tungsten carbide tips are clean and free of mud or debris. Consider using the rubber ferrules on extremely slick surfaces if maximum grip is not achieved with the tips alone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight due to carbon fiber construction.
  • Compact and portable when folded.
  • Provides effective shock absorption, reducing joint strain.
  • Offers good grip and stability on varied terrain.
  • Durable materials ensure longevity for frequent use.

Cons

  • Requires secure fastening of lever locks for optimal performance.
  • May be less durable than heavier aluminum poles if subjected to extreme abuse.
  • Tungsten carbide tips can wear down over very long periods of use.
  • The foldable design might feel slightly less rigid than non-folding poles to some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the pole sections.
  2. Extend each section to the desired length, ensuring the indicator lines are aligned.
  3. Securely fasten the lever lock mechanism on each section. Listen for a click or feel a firm resistance to confirm it's locked.
  4. Adjust the padded wrist strap for a snug but comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

These poles are designed for general hiking, trekking, and walking. They are compatible with most standard backpack attachment systems due to their compact size when folded. The included accessories (mud baskets and rubber ferrules) enhance their versatility across different terrains and weather conditions.

Care:

  • After each use, especially in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the poles clean with a damp cloth.
  • Allow the poles to dry completely before storing them.
  • Periodically check the lever lock mechanism for proper function and clean any dirt or debris from it.
  • Store the poles in a dry place, ideally in a protective bag if available.
