Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Compact Walking Pole 2 Pack is an ideal companion for hikers, trekkers, and travelers who need reliable stability without the bulk of traditional gear. These poles offer the primary benefit of enhanced balance and reduced joint impact on uneven terrain, thanks to their lightweight, telescopic design. However, users should note that because they are designed for extreme portability, they may not offer the same level of rigidity as heavy-duty, fixed-length expedition poles when navigating technical rock climbing or high-altitude mountaineering.

FAQs
What is the weight of each pole?
Each pole weighs 250g.
What is the minimum and maximum length?
The poles adjust from 56cm to 121cm.
Can I use these for snow hiking?
The tungsten carbide tips provide good traction on ice, but you may need to add compatible snow baskets (sold separately) to prevent sinking in deep snow.
Are these poles sold as a pair?
Yes, this product is a 2-pack, containing two walking poles.
How do I clean the poles?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the sections are fully dried before storing to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Pole section slips while in use
Ensure the section is twisted firmly until it locks. If it continues to slip, fully disassemble the section, clean any debris from the inner locking mechanism, and allow it to dry completely before reassembling.
Pole sections are stuck and won't extend
Avoid using force. Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the joints if necessary, let it sit, and then try to gently twist the sections apart.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Adjustable length suits various terrains and user heights

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your poles, twist the shaft sections in opposite directions to unlock the internal compression mechanism, adjust to your desired height, and twist firmly in the opposite direction to lock them in place. Ensure you do not extend the poles beyond the marked 'stop' line to maintain structural integrity. Compatibility-wise, these poles are designed for general hiking and walking; they are not intended for use as primary support for climbing. For care, always extend the poles fully and wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth after hiking, especially after use in wet or muddy conditions. Avoid using lubricants on the internal locking mechanism, as this can cause the sections to slip during use.
