Product Information
Full details
The Six Peaks Stride Walking Pole is designed for hikers and trekkers seeking reliable support on varied terrains. Its primary benefit lies in its adjustable height and durable construction, allowing for comfortable and stable use during long excursions. A potential consideration is the weight for ultralight backpackers. Key features include quick lever locks for easy adjustment, interchangeable baskets for different conditions, and comfortable, moisture-wicking grips.

FAQs
What is the maximum height the poles can extend to?
The Six Peaks Stride Walking Poles can extend up to a maximum height of 135 cm (53").
How do I determine the correct pole length for me?
A good starting point is to adjust the poles so that when you are holding the grips, your elbows are bent at approximately a 90-degree angle, and your arms are roughly parallel to the ground. You can also use the provided sizing chart based on your height.
Are the baskets interchangeable?
Yes, the poles come with both a 53mm Summer Basket and a 78mm Snow Basket that can be easily screwed on and off.
What material are the poles made of?
The poles are constructed from durable Aluminium Alloy with tube specifications of 16/14/12 MM.
How much do the poles weigh?
Each pole weighs approximately 250g.
Can I use these poles for snowshoeing?
While the included snow baskets help prevent sinking in snow, these poles are primarily designed for trekking. For deep snow or dedicated snowshoeing, specialized poles might offer better performance.
How should I clean and maintain the poles?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use. Ensure the lever locks are clean and functioning correctly. Store in a dry environment.
Troubleshooting
Poles won't stay at the set height
Ensure the lever locks are fully closed and securely latched. Check if there is any dirt or debris obstructing the locking mechanism and clean if necessary.
Grips feel uncomfortable after prolonged use
Adjust your grip slightly. Ensure the straps are not too tight. For very long hikes, consider wearing light gloves.
Baskets are difficult to attach or detach
Ensure the threads are clean and free of dirt or debris before screwing or unscrewing. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if resistance persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To set up the Six Peaks Stride Walking Poles, first unlock the lever clamps on each pole. Extend the sections to your desired height, referring to the sizing chart or the 'arms parallel to the ground' guideline. Ensure the levers are firmly closed to secure the length. To switch between the summer and snow baskets, simply unscrew the existing basket and screw on the desired one.
Compatibility: These poles are designed for general hiking and trekking. The interchangeable baskets make them suitable for various terrains, including packed trails, rocky paths, snow, and mud. They are compatible with most standard hiking footwear.
Care: After each use, especially in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the poles clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the lever locks are free of dirt and debris. Store the poles in a dry place, preferably with the levers open or loosely closed to avoid excessive pressure on the locking mechanism. Periodically check the locking mechanism for proper function and clean any accumulated dirt.
