Trekking poles Nils Extreme TK8608 adjustable 70–130 cm, pair

Adjustable trekking poles Nils Extreme TK8608 are a pair of collapsible walking poles designed for hiking and trekking. Each pole extends from 70 to 130 cm to accommodate different user heights and varying terrain. The design includes a locking adjustment mechanism, ergonomic handles with wrist straps for secure grip and stability, and hardened tips suited to trail surfaces. These poles are intended to provide support, balance and reduced joint strain during outdoor walks.

Advantages

The telescopic construction allows quick and precise length adjustment to match slope, pack weight and user height. Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during long walks while wrist straps help maintain control on uneven ground. Hardened tips improve traction on dirt and gravel trails and the collapsible design enables compact storage and transport. The pair format ensures symmetrical support and easier load distribution for both legs.

How to use

Extend each pole to a comfortable length by releasing the locking mechanism, sliding the sections until the desired height is reached and then securing the lock. When walking on level ground, adjust the poles so that your elbow is at approximately a 90-degree angle; shorten them slightly for uphill sections and lengthen for downhill to maintain balance. Use the wrist straps to transfer weight through your arms without gripping the handles too tightly. Collapse the poles by unlocking and sliding the sections together for storage or transport.

Usage recommendations

Before each outing, check that the locking mechanism is fully engaged and that the tips are intact. Clean and dry the poles after use in wet or muddy conditions to preserve the locking system. Replace worn tips as needed to maintain traction and protect the pole ends.
