Trekking poles Nils Extreme TK8602 adjustable aluminum 65–135 cm are lightweight, telescopic walking poles designed to provide stability and reduce joint load during hikes and treks. Constructed from aluminum, they offer a balance of durability and reduced weight. The adjustable length range from 65 to 135 cm makes these poles versatile for different users and varied terrain, while telescopic locking sections allow secure adjustment for uphill, downhill and flat walking.

Advantages

The adjustable aluminum construction delivers reliable strength with a manageable weight for day hikes and travel. Telescopic sections enable quick length changes to fit body height and terrain, enhancing posture and balance. Ergonomic grips and secure locking mechanisms improve handling and reduce the risk of accidental collapse. These trekking poles help distribute load away from knees and ankles, contributing to longer, more comfortable outings.

Suitable for

• People seeking reduced joint strain and improved balance

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum shaft for strength and reduced weight
• Adjustable length range: 65–135 cm for varied user heights and conditions
• Telescopic sections: multi-stage adjustment for secure fit
• Grip: ergonomically shaped handles for comfortable hold
• Locking mechanism: twist or clamp style to fix chosen length securely

How to use

Set the pole length to match your height and the terrain: shorter for uphill, longer for downhill, and mid-range for flat ground. Open the locking mechanisms, extend each telescopic section to the desired length, then close the locks to secure the shaft. Hold the ergonomic grips with a relaxed wrist and use the straps if present to transfer some load to your forearm. Plant the pole tip slightly ahead on each step to assist balance and reduce impact on knees and ankles. After use, retract the sections, close locks, and store the poles in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For safety and longevity, regularly inspect the locking mechanisms and tips for wear, replace rubber caps when worn, and avoid using poles as leverage on unstable ground or to support excessive weight. Clean and dry poles after exposure to mud or salt to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation of the telescopic sections.
