TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

What is the difference compared to a pole without a shockproof system?

Its soft materials are also designed to reduce noise from impact. This pole is measured as being two times less noisy than a pole without an anti-shock tip (MT500).

Is this pole really quiet?

The tip absorbs some of the impact by sliding into the body of the pole over approximately 1 cm. We have used a silicone foam, a material that is particularly resistant to deformation and external impacts, which is intended to get crushed on impact and then regain its initial shape.

How to adjust your poles to the correct length?

Hold the poles with your arms bent at a right angle. To do this:
- Pull the bottom piece completely until the auto push-pin locks (metal button)
- Open the external blocker lever
- Slide the tube to the desired length
- Close the lever
- Never exceed the STOP line to avoid the risk of breaking the pole.

What advice can you give on how to use these hiking poles?

These hiking poles are designed to help you balance, propel yourself and spread the effort between the arms and legs.
To be on the safe side, before you set off and at regular intervals check that your pole is locked in place by simulating heavy bumps.
Do not attach to your backpack in stormy weather.

What care instructions do you have for this pole?

After use, if water has got into the pole, take the parts apart and allow to dry. Clean any dust and mud with or without water using a soft brush or paintbrush.
Once dry, you can reassemble the strands. We recommend that you do not try to oil or grease them.

Why is the pole sold individually?

The poles are sold individually for two main reasons. First, for usage reasons, as some people wish to only use one pole.
Also, if one of your poles breaks, this means you only have to buy one and not a complete pair.
