Product Information

Full details

The Trail Outdoor Leisure Aluminium Twistlock Walking Poles are designed for hikers, trekkers, and walkers of all skill levels who need reliable, lightweight support across diverse terrains. These poles offer the benefit of built-in antishock technology and adjustable height, which significantly reduces joint strain on long hauls; however, users should be mindful that the twistlock mechanism requires periodic checking to ensure sections remain fully tightened during extended use.

FAQs

How do I know the correct pole length for my height?

Stand straight with your arms at your sides. Your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle when holding the handle and the pole tip touches the floor.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

Yes, the kit includes snow baskets designed to prevent the poles from sinking into deep powder.

Are the wrist straps necessary?

The straps provide extra security and help transfer weight to your wrists, but they can be loosened or adjusted based on your comfort preference.

Should I use the antishock feature all the time?

While it is excellent for descent to reduce impact, some hikers prefer to lock the antishock feature when climbing steep terrain to maximize energy transfer.

What should I do if a tip wears out?

The rubber tips are consumable items. You can easily swap them out for the spare rubber or boot tips provided or purchase replacements if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Pole section sliding down during use

Fully extend the section, clean the internal thread of any debris, and ensure it is tightened sufficiently by twisting clockwise.

Pole sections stuck and won't extend

Try tapping the side of the pole gently with a rubber mallet to vibrate the locking mechanism loose, or apply a light spray of penetrating oil to the thread and let it sit for an hour.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight yet durable aluminium construction
  • Comprehensive set of tips and baskets for all terrain types
  • Antishock system protects joints from repetitive impact
  • Wide height adjustment range suitable for different user statures
  • Includes a convenient carry bag

Cons

  • Twistlock mechanisms can sometimes slip if not tightened firmly
  • Requires manual adjustment of two separate poles
  • Steel tips may be noisy on hard rock surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your poles, twist each section counter-clockwise to loosen, pull out to the desired length while respecting the STOP indicator, and twist clockwise until firmly locked. Before each trek, ensure all sections are locked tight to prevent collapsing. When cleaning, wipe down the aluminium shafts with a damp cloth to remove grit or sand, which can damage the internal locking mechanisms. Never use oil or lubricant on the internal twistlock threads as this can cause them to slip. Always store your poles in a dry environment and use the included carry bag to keep the attachments organized.
