A telescopic trekking pole is an orthopedic tool designed to reduce strain during walking. It improves a person's stability and balance by creating an additional point of support. The pole reduces pressure on the legs and helps the body recover faster after an injury. It is ideal for hiking and mountain climbing. Thanks to its shock absorption system, it provides better stability when walking on uneven surfaces. The pole also helps elderly individuals with coordination difficulties to walk more comfortably.
Designed for Nordic walking, this pole comes with two pairs of interchangeable tips, making your walk possible in any weather. One set of tips is made for soft terrain like sand, snow, and mud. The other is intended for walking on solid surfaces such as asphalt or pavement.
The pole consists of three sections, allowing you to adjust the length from 65 cm to 135 cm to suit your height. The T-shaped handle is made of pleasantly textured plastic, providing a comfortable grip. This design supports various gripping styles, making it ideal for active seniors.
Inside the handle, there is a compass and a flashlight, helping you navigate in the dark. The anti-shock system with built-in springs reduces strain on the wrists and hands while pushing off. The pole also includes durable, adjustable wrist straps for a secure and comfortable grip. The shaft is made of lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy.
Most effective on long descents, where they relieve stress from the knees and help prevent joint overuse or injury.
Improve balance when walking on uneven terrain, such as rocky areas or mountain trails – especially helpful when carrying a heavy backpack.
On flat surfaces and uphill climbs, they help transfer some of the load from the legs to the upper body, making forward movement easier.
Nordic walking poles are widely used in modern hiking and mountaineering to make walking over rough terrain easier. They typically have a foldable design, which makes them more convenient to carry in public transport or in a backpack when not in use. Poles come in fixed lengths or with adjustable lengths, the latter being especially useful in mountainous areas where you may need shorter poles for ascents and longer ones for descents.
In terms of construction, Nordic walking poles are generally made of hollow aluminum tubes, sometimes alloyed with titanium or made from carbon fiber. Carbon poles are lighter but usually more expensive. The tungsten carbide tip on the bottom provides strong grip and reduces wear. The handle is similar to that of a ski pole but with some modifications, allowing various grips depending on the terrain.
