FAQs

How do I adjust the length of the trekking poles?

Unfasten the locking mechanism on each telescopic section. Extend or retract the sections to your desired length, then securely re-fasten the locking mechanism. Ensure both poles are set to the same length.

What is the benefit of the tungsten carbide tips?

Tungsten carbide is a very hard and durable material that provides excellent traction and grip on a variety of surfaces, especially hard or slippery ones, ensuring stability.

Can I replace the tips if they wear out?

Yes, the tungsten carbide tips are designed to be durable, but if they wear down over time, they can typically be replaced. Check the product manual or contact the manufacturer for replacement options.

How do I clean the trekking poles?

Wipe the poles with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and moisture. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure they are dry before storing.

Are these poles suitable for winter hiking?

While the poles offer good grip, they are primarily designed for general trekking. For deep snow conditions, consider poles with wider snow baskets, which may need to be purchased separately.

What is the purpose of the spring base?

The spring base is designed to absorb shock from each step, reducing the impact on your wrists, elbows, and shoulders. This can help prevent fatigue and discomfort during long hikes.

Troubleshooting

Poles won't stay at the set height.

Ensure the telescopic locking mechanisms are fully tightened. If slippage persists, inspect the locks for wear and clean any debris that might be obstructing them.

Reduced grip from tips.

Clean the tungsten carbide tips with a brush to remove dirt and debris. Check for excessive wear; if worn down, replacement tips may be necessary.

Spring base feels stiff or unresponsive.

Inspect the spring mechanism for dirt or obstructions. Gently clean the area. If the issue persists, the internal spring may need professional attention or replacement.
