Materials and build

The trekking pole is built with a lightweight aluminium shaft paired with EVA foam for the grip, delivering strength and comfort without adding unnecessary weight. The integrated anti-shock system is designed to smooth out vibrations from uneven surfaces, helping you maintain stability across rocks, roots, and gravel.

Care and maintenance

Wipe the shaft and grip after exposure to mud or moisture. Dry thoroughly before storage. Regularly inspect the tip and rubber cap and replace as needed to maintain traction across different surfaces.
