FAQ – Telescopic Poles
How do you adjust telescopic poles correctly?
Bend your arm to 90° and adjust the pole length so the tip rests on the ground. For uphill hiking, shorten by 5–10 cm; for downhill hiking, lengthen by 5–10 cm. Tighten the clamp firmly and check for safety before your tour.
Are telescopic poles better than folding poles?
Telescopic poles are more stable and more affordable, but heavier and bulkier. Folding poles are lighter and more compact – better for ultralight tours and trail running. For classic hiking with a backpack, telescopic poles are usually the more practical choice.
How do I care for telescopic poles?
After wet tours, pull them apart and let them dry. Check the clamping mechanism regularly for dirt and clean it. Replace pole tips when worn – replacement tips are available in our accessories range.
