Cork-Handle Walking Poles

• 330 g per pole: light enough to swing for a full day of hiking without your arms noticing, yet stiff enough to lean your whole weight on with a loaded pack on a steep descent. Those two qualities, light in the hand and rigid under load, are the numbers worth comparing before you buy any other walking or trekking poles.
• Two-zone grip for changing terrain: the natural cork upper grip draws sweat away from your palm and slowly moulds to your hand shape, so the fit improves the more you hike. Its slight rotational give acts as an anti-torque cushion, easing wrist strain on long days. Further down the shaft, an EVA foam lower grip gives a second, shorter hold for steep sections without stopping to change length. Comfortable bare-handed in summer or gloved in winter.
• Folds to 38 cm: the tri-fold collapsible design packs each pole down short enough to slide inside a daypack, suitcase or duffel, rather than being strapped to the outside where it snags on branches and doorways. Check them in as luggage when flying and they travel as easily as they hike.
• Sized for walkers 159 to 195 cm: extend the sections until the metal lock button pops out and each pole locks rigid at full length, then set your height anywhere from 110 to 130 cm with the metal flip lock in seconds. That 20 cm range covers men, women and teenagers, and lets you shorten for the climb and lengthen for the descent on the same trail.
• Built for years, not seasons: aircraft-grade aluminium alloy shafts with reinforced joints that lock solid at full extension, so there is no play under load on rocky, uneven ground. Set of 2 poles with a carry bag included. At home on hiking, trekking, fishing, snow travel and everyday walking, on high mountains or a flat local trail alike.
