How to use

Adjust the poles to the recommended height before starting: stand upright with your elbow at approximately a 90-degree angle while holding the grip, then lock the telescopic sections at the corresponding length. Use wrist straps to transfer load from the hand to the forearm and maintain a relaxed grip to reduce fatigue. For uphill sections, shorten the poles slightly to increase propulsion; for downhill sections, lengthen them to improve balance and braking. Replace or fit baskets when crossing snow or soft terrain and inspect the tips regularly for wear.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check locking mechanisms and tip condition to maintain safe performance. Clean and dry the poles after exposure to mud or salt water and store them collapsed in a dry place. Use compatible baskets and rubber tip covers when required to protect delicate surfaces and extend tip life.
