    Design details

    What's the difference between these poles and poles without an anti-shock 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 silicone foam, a material that is particularly resistant to deformation and external impacts, which is designed to get crushed with impact and then return to its original 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 lower part all the way out until the automatic push-pin (metal button) locks
    - Open the lever of the external lock mechanism
    - Slide the tube to the desired length
    - Close the lever
    -Never go beyond the STOP line to avoid the risk of breaking the pole.

    How do I use these hiking poles?

    These hiking poles are designed to help you balance, propel yourself and to ensure both your arms and legs are working.
    To be on the safe side, check that your poles are locked in place before you set off by putting a lot of your weight onto the poles.
    Do not attach to your backpack in stormy weather.

    How do I look after these hiking poles?

    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 are poles sold individually?

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

  • Testing

    Test product

    To establish our limits, we measured the effort carried out with the poles in different situations. During the design stage, each model undergoes laboratory tests that reproduce these stresses (compression, bending in three places, etc.) until it breaks. We also tests parts separately (tightening power, tearing, etc). Finally, these tests are regularly repeated in production to ensure a constant level of quality.

    Agree by

    This pole has been validated in the field in real-life conditions. 20 independent testers have used it in the French Alps for 5 weeks of trekking during the 2024 summer. These tests allow us to check aspects such as comfort, ease of adjustment, vibrations, etc. Finally, we also check durability by means of a durability test mission that can reach up to 500 km.
