43" Shock-Resistant Adjustable Trekking Pole and Hiking Staff by Crown Sporting Goods ✓ Free 60 Day Returns ✓ Free Express Shipping Description: Trekking poles and hiking staffs are indispensable tools to casual walkers and
serious hikers, backpackers, and mountaineers alike. Fully adjustable, shorten
the poles on the fly using the simple twist lock to more easily make your
uphill climbs. And for downhill? Just add some length to aid your descent.
While they require more use of the arms, utilizing poles or a staff more
evenly redistributes weight throughout the body and allows for increased
hiking endurance. What's more, the shock-absorbing internal spring eases wear
on weak or damaged ankles, knees and hips. A single lightweight pole weighs.75
lbs. and is 53" long when fully extended, and the telescoping design retracts
all the way down to 23" to easily fit backpacks of many shapes and sizes. When
used as a pair of trekking poles, the ergonomic plastic grip couldn't be more
comfortable, but also features a flared top that allows each pole to also be
used as a single hiking staff. Each pole also features a secondary soft foam
grip, and can be secured with a sturdy, adjustable wrist strap. The black
carbonite tip is ideal for rough, craggy terrain and can also function as an
ice spike. Also included is a vulcanized rubber foot ideal for hard surfaces
and asphalt. Finally, an optional snow tip can be screwed onto the tip to
prevent the stick from sinking too deeply into soft surfaces. Features:
Lightweight, durable aluminum telescoping trekking pole. Extends from 23" up to 53" and a pair weighs 1.5 lbs
Each section locks in with a simple twist and is marked with measurements for precise height settings
3 options for maximum control on many terrains: carbonite tip for rocky, uneven terrain; vulcanized rubber foot for hard flat surfaces; screw-on snow tip to keep the pole from sinking into soft ground
Internal anti-shock spring contained in bottom section reduces strain of up to 25% body weight from lower body joints and muscles
Features an ergonomic grip, a secondary soft foam grip, sturdy, adjustable wrist strap
