Rubber Tip Protector for Nordic Walking Poles Gabel Tip Protector 05/36, set of 2

Gabel Tip Protector 05/36 is a pair of rubber caps made for Nordic walking and trekking poles. They fit over the metal tips to protect the pole ends and to reduce wear when walking on hard surfaces such as asphalt, helping to avoid direct contact between the metal (tungsten) tip and the ground.

Advantages

These rubber tip protectors are simple to fit and offer a protective barrier that lowers noise and abrasion when poles are used on paved or mixed terrain. Supplied as a set of two, they serve as spare parts to extend the service life of walking poles and preserve both the pole tips and the walking surface.

Suitable for

• Nordic walking poles on asphalt and paved paths
• Trekking poles used on mixed terrain including occasional hard surfaces
• Recreational and fitness walkers needing spare replacement tips

When it may not be suitable

These rubber protectors are intended for use on hard or mixed surfaces and are not a substitute for specialized carbide or winter tips designed for ice, deep snow, or technical mountaineering. On very soft or muddy ground they may reduce penetration and traction compared with uncovered tips.

Key specifications

• Material: rubber
• Quantity: set of 2
• Designed for: tip protection and abrasion reduction on hard surfaces
• Compatibility: for trekking/Nordic walking pole tips (model 05/36)

How to use

Fit the rubber cap over the pole tip by pushing it on until it sits securely over the metal point. Ensure the protector fully covers the tip and check it regularly for wear; replace when the rubber becomes cracked or overly worn to maintain protection and traction.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your pole tip diameter and shape (model 05/36)
• Consider intended terrain—these are optimized for hard and mixed surfaces, not for ice or deep snow
• Replace in pairs to maintain consistent performance

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these rubber tip protectors when walking on asphalt or paved trails and remove them for technical trails with ice or deep snow. Inspect before each outing and replace as needed to ensure continued protection of the pole tips and walking surfaces.
