Trekking poles nils extreme TK8603 adjustable aluminium 38.5–135 cm are lightweight, telescopic walking poles designed for hiking and trekking across varied terrain. Constructed from aluminium, they provide a balance between strength and portability. The adjustable length range from 38.5 to 135 cm allows compact storage and tailoring to different user heights or conditions, while ergonomic grips and wrist straps aid in stability and load distribution during walks and ascents.

Advantages

These trekking poles combine a robust aluminium shaft with a telescopic locking system that enables precise length adjustment. The compact minimum length makes them easy to pack for travel, and the extended length supports taller users or steep terrain. Ergonomic handles and secure wrist straps reduce hand fatigue and improve control, and the pole tips are suited for varied surfaces to maintain traction and balance.

Suitable for

• Day hikes on forest trails and mountain paths
• Multi-day trekking and backpacking trips
• Trekking on mixed terrain including dirt, gravel and rocky surfaces
• Travel where compact, adjustable poles are required

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium shaft for a combination of strength and light weight
• Length range: adjustable from 38.5 cm to 135 cm
• Telescopic adjustment system for incremental length changes
• Ergonomic handle design with wrist strap for improved grip and support

How to use

Extend the pole to the desired length and secure the telescopic locking mechanism according to the included adjustment steps. Position wrist straps over the back of your hand and grip the handle so the strap supports part of the load. Use poles in a natural walking rhythm: plant the pole opposite the moving foot to aid balance and reduce impact on knees and joints. Retract the poles and lock them before packing to prevent accidental movement.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect locking joints and pole tips for wear; clean and dry the poles after use in wet or muddy conditions. Select a pole length that results in a roughly 90-degree angle at the elbow when holding the grip for optimal support and comfort.
