Product Information

Full details

This Mountain Warehouse Trekking Pole Set in Black is designed for hikers and trekkers seeking enhanced stability and reduced strain on their joints during ascents and descents. Its key benefit lies in its robust Duralumin construction and ergonomic EVA handles for comfortable grip. A potential consideration is the included mud basket, which might be less effective on very soft terrain.

FAQs

What material are the trekking poles made from?

The poles are constructed from Duralumin, a lightweight and strong aluminum alloy.

What is the maximum length of the poles?

The poles are extendable up to 121cm.

Are the handles comfortable for long hikes?

Yes, the poles feature ergonomically designed EVA handles for comfort and a glove handle for added grip and control.

What is the purpose of the mud basket?

The mud basket is designed to prevent the pole tip from sinking too deeply into soft ground like mud or snow.

Can I replace the steel tip?

While not explicitly stated, steel tips are often replaceable. Check with the manufacturer or retailer for replacement parts if needed.

Are these poles suitable for snowshoeing?

The poles are designed for general trekking. For deep snow, specific snow baskets (not included) would be recommended if available.

How do I adjust the length of the poles?

You need to unlock the adjustment mechanism, slide the sections to the desired length, and then securely lock the mechanism again.

Troubleshooting

Poles won't lock at desired length

Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and free of dirt. Tighten the mechanism firmly. If the issue persists, the internal locking system may need adjustment or repair.

Handle feels slippery

Wipe the EVA handle with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Ensure your hands are not excessively sweaty or wet when gripping the handle.

Tip becomes loose

Check if the tip is screwed on securely. Some tips may be replaceable; consult product documentation if available.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable and ergonomic EVA grip
  • Adjustable length for personalized fit
  • Durable steel tip for reliable traction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the poles by unlocking the adjustment mechanism.
  2. Adjust each pole to your desired height. A common guideline is to set the poles so your elbow is at a 90-degree angle when the tip is on the ground.
  3. Securely lock the adjustment mechanism.
  4. Attach the mud basket if needed for softer terrain.

Compatibility:

These trekking poles are universally designed for use on most hiking and trekking trails. They are compatible with standard hiking boots and footwear.

Care:

  • After use, wipe the poles clean with a damp cloth, paying attention to the tip and handle areas.
  • Ensure the poles are dry before storing them to prevent corrosion.
  • Periodically check the adjustment mechanisms for proper function and clean any dirt or debris from them.
  • Store in a dry place.
