Adjustable Trekking Pole and Hiking Staff by Crown Sporting Goods

Trekking poles and hiking staffs are indispensable tools for casual walkers, serious hikers, backpackers, and mountaineers alike. Fully adjustable, these poles can be shortened on the fly using a simple twist lock, making uphill climbs more manageable. Conversely, adding length to the poles can aid descents. While they require more use of the arms, utilizing poles or a staff evenly redistributes weight throughout the body, allowing for increased hiking endurance. Moreover, the shock-absorbing internal spring eases wear on weak or damaged ankles, knees, and hips.

A single lightweight pole weighs .75 lbs. and extends to 43" when fully extended. The telescoping design retracts all the way down to 20", enabling the pole to easily fit into backpacks of various shapes and sizes. When used as a pair of trekking poles, the ergonomic plastic grip is exceptionally comfortable, but the flared top also allows each pole to be used as a single hiking staff. Each pole features a secondary soft foam grip and a sturdy, adjustable wrist strap.

The black carbonite tip is ideal for rough, craggy terrain and can function as an ice spike. Additionally, a vulcanized rubber foot is included, which is suitable for hard surfaces and asphalt. Finally, an optional snow tip can be screwed onto the pole to prevent it from sinking too deeply into soft surfaces.

This lightweight, durable, and aluminum telescoping trekking pole extends from 23" up to 53", with a pair weighing 1.5 lbs. Each section locks in with a simple twist and is marked with measurements for precise height settings. The pole offers three options for maximum control on various terrains: the carbonite tip for rocky, uneven surfaces; the vulcanized rubber foot for hard, flat surfaces; and the screw-on snow tip to keep the pole from sinking into soft ground.

Lastly, the internal anti-shock spring contained in the bottom section reduces the strain of up to 25% of the user's body weight from the lower body joints and muscles.
