FAQs

How do I adjust the pole length?

Use the fastlock system to unlock the sections. Extend or retract the sections to your desired length and then re-engage the fastlock.

What is the correct pole length for hiking?

Generally, when standing on a level surface, your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle when holding the pole.

How do I attach the snow baskets?

Screw the snow baskets onto the bottom of the pole.

What is the material of the pole?

The pole is made of carbon fibre.

What is the purpose of the wrist strap?

The wrist strap provides extra stability and prevents you from losing the pole if you let go of the grip.

How should I clean the poles?

Wipe down the poles with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Ensure the locking mechanisms are clean.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections are not locking securely.

Check the fastlock system for any obstructions or damage. Clean the locking mechanism and ensure it is properly engaged. Tighten the fastlock if necessary.

Pole feels unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all sections are fully locked. Check the tip for wear and tear; replace if needed. Adjust the length of the pole to fit the terrain and your height.

Baskets are loose or detached.

Tighten the baskets to the pole or replace them if damaged.
