The Trekmates Carbon Walking Pole is an ideal choice for long-distance hikers and trekkers seeking to reduce pack weight and minimize fatigue during extended excursions. Built with a 3K carbon fibre chassis, it offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio; however, users should be mindful that carbon fibre is more susceptible to impact-related fractures compared to heavier aluminum alternatives when jammed between rocks.

The pole extends to a maximum length of 135cm.
The included 32mm mud baskets are suitable for soft earth, but for deep snow, a larger snow basket (sold separately) is recommended.
Each individual pole weighs 200g.
Yes, the tungsten carbide tips are designed for durability, but can be replaced if they eventually wear down from heavy use on abrasive terrain.
Yes, it is structurally sound for standard trekking, provided you avoid using the pole as a primary load-bearing device or leverage point in rock crevices.
Adjust the tension screw on the lever lock mechanism slightly clockwise while the lever is in the open position to increase clamping force.
Adjust the tension screw slightly counter-clockwise to reduce pressure, but ensure it still locks securely before placing weight on the pole.
Check for trapped debris or grit. Clean the segments with water and ensure they are thoroughly dry before re-attempting to adjust.
To set up your pole, open the lever lock, slide the shaft segments to your desired height, and snap the lever back into place. Ensure you do not extend the pole past the marked 'stop' line to maintain structural integrity. For care, wipe the carbon shafts with a damp cloth after every use to remove grit and salt. Avoid using lubricants on the locking mechanism, as this can cause slipping. Store the poles in a dry, cool environment, and ensure they are completely dry before collapsing them for storage to prevent internal corrosion.
