Trekking poles Black Diamond Explorer 3, pair, adjustable 100–140 cm, black

Black Diamond Explorer 3 are a pair of adjustable trekking poles with a length range of 100–140 cm and a black finish. Designed for hiking and Nordic walking, these poles provide stability on varied terrain and help distribute load to reduce leg fatigue. They collapse for compact storage and feature a quick length adjustment system suitable for changing conditions on trails and outdoor routes.

Advantages

The Black Diamond Explorer 3 poles combine an adjustable telescopic design with an easy-to-use locking mechanism that enables fast length changes between 100 and 140 cm. Sold as a pair, they deliver improved balance and support during ascents, descents and level walking. Their black finish resists visible dirt and maintains a consistent appearance in regular outdoor use. The compact collapsed length makes them convenient to pack and carry when not in use.

Suitable for

• Hiking on varied trails and uneven terrain
• Nordic walking and fitness walks
• Day trips and multi-day hikes where adjustable length is needed

How to use

Adjust each pole to the required length by releasing the locking mechanism, extending or collapsing the sections to a comfortable height (typical starting point is elbow at roughly 90 degrees), then secure the locks. Use the poles alternately in coordination with your steps: plant the pole opposite the leading leg to aid balance and propulsion. When crossing rough or steep terrain, shorten the poles for increased stability; lengthen them on descents or when needing additional reach. Collapse the poles and lock sections for compact storage during transport.

Usage recommendations

Inspect poles before each use for secure locks and any damage. Select pole length according to terrain and personal comfort, wear compatible gloves for extended use, and clean and dry poles after wet conditions to maintain the locking mechanism and finish.
