Folding Trekking Pole - Red

Ideal for Ramblers & Hillwalkers

These poles help to reduce the load borne by the walker's legs. A single pole used in the manner of a traditional walking stick gives support and balance on easy terrain, while a pair of poles is recommended for more difficult walks. Folding, lightweight and telescopic. With clear plastic pouch. Upright handle, wrist strap.

1. #Dimensions#
   The dimensions of the adjustable walking stick are:
   ~ Length is adjustable from 115cm to 125cm
   ~ Length when folded is 42cm
   ~ Weight is 511g
   ~ The stick diameter is 19mm.
   ~ It is fitted with a RFD10 hiking pole ferrule size with a 10mm internal diameter.
2. #Measuring & Shortening#
   To measure someone for a walking stick, ask them to stand with their weight evenly on both feet, looking straight ahead and with their arms relaxed by their sides. You then need to measure from the floor to the prominent bone of the wrist. This is the length of walking stick required. Please note this is just a rule of thumb. If the person has special needs, they may need to be measured by a medical professional. Alternatively they may have personal preferences for a longer or shorter walking stick.
   
   To adjust the folding stick loosen off the tightening nut at the bottom of the top section. Push the button in and slide it up or down into one of the other positioning holes. Once you have found the position that suits best tighten up the nut to lock it, which will also reduce the clicking noise. Please note: economy sticks do not have a tightening nut.
