Trekking Pole Features
Adjustable: The trekking poles adjust in length to enhance stability on different terrain. They generally adjust from about 25 to 53 inches (63 to 135 cm) long. Typically you’ll want to shorten the poles when going uphill and lengthen them when going downhill.
Shock-absorbing poles: These offer internal springs that absorb shock when you walk downhill. This feature can be turned off when it’s not needed, like when you’re walking uphill.
Ultralight: These Ultra light 7075 T6 Aluminum poles offer the advantage of less swing weight, which makes them easier and quicker to move. Over the course of a long hike, this means less fatigue. Each pole weighs about 260 grams only
Twist lock: The poles uses an expander and screw setup that is consistently strong and durable. The locking mechanisms also let you adjust the length of the three interlocking sections
Trekking Pole Shaft Materials: The pole shaft’s makeup is a key determinant of the pole’s overall weight. Aluminum 7075 T6: The more durable and economical choice. Under high stress, aluminum can bend, but is unlikely to break. (Carbon-fiber poles are more vulnerable to breakage or splintering than 7075 aluminum poles. Trekking poles that use Aluminum 6061 are much heavier)
Trekking Pole Grips: Foam: This absorbs moisture from sweaty hands and is the softest to the touch.
Wrist straps: To use them the right way, put your hand up through the bottom of the strap and then pull down and grab the grip of the pole. This technique supports your wrist and heel of the hand and allows you to keep your hand relaxed on the grip.
Baskets: The Trekking poles include a small, removable trekking basket at the tip end. The baskets can be used in snowy or muddy ground
Carbide Tip: All terrain tungsten/carbide tip with removable rubber ferrules.
