Questions & Answers
Look for product information, frequently asked questions, opinions...
Question:
Please provide instructions on mounting brackets on pole tips. I bought a pair of the poles but brackets were not mounted on the pole tips.
Answer:
Please specify the question for us to help you better. The baskets are attached to our poles by screwing/snapping them.
Question:
Are these poles shock absobing?
Answer:
This hiking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself and distribute effort between arms and legs. To set our thresholds, we have measured the stresses on the poles in the most demanding situations. During its development, each model undergoes laboratory tests that reproduce these stresses (compression, three-point bending, etc.) until it breaks. We also tests parts separately (tightening power, tearing, etc). Finally, these tests are regularly repeated in production to ensure a constant level of quality.

Product Customer Reviews
I don't really like the square handle but that's totally personal. For the rest it's perfect with an automatic locking system on the lower part, it's great. In addition the stick is repairable, another great idea. And finally in aluminum, barely heavier than carbon but does not break like glass, only deforms which allows it to always be used minimally....before repair.
very easy to adjust, not too expensive, comfortable, solid when walking.... only fault I had to glue the handle of one of the poles back with superglue (one pole out of our 6)
Lightweight and practical walking poles, several height adjustment modes, enough for occasional use
Good for occasional use, urgent purchase before a trip of several days in areas with steep slopes and after heavy rainfall.

Very good product
Very satisfied
Go to the store and get advice from the staff to suit your needs. I used this stick for my wet season trekking in Ma Da forest, it helps prevent slipping very well and is also compact and lightweight. worth buying
Really nothing to say about this evolution of the range of poles, this new fixing system seems much more durable over time! (I have a pair of "old" poles where the adjustment is done by a screwing/unscrewing system of each adjustable level... which shows its weaknesses). The only downside I have to report to you: the "ratchet" at the end with the tip is slightly difficult to unlock... you need nails to be able to push it in. This is the only point of improvement I see, in the order of "nice to have", otherwise this pole is perfect.
Great hiking poles. Used on tough slopes and cliffs. Glad I bought them.
Easy to adjust
Great, practical, comfortable because it can be retracted to fit everyone's size and can be stored in suitcases.
People met nature with Decathlon contributions
Economical and durable product
The system makes you have a stick that "crushes" slightly on the ground before allowing you to take support. The handle is great but one ended up coming off making the sticks hardly usable. Quite honestly, it's one of the rare Decathlon products that I didn't like because of this strange sensation when using it, unlike the cheaper models from Decathlon.
Additional Product Information
Composition
Shaft: 100.0% Aluminium ; Handle: 100.0% Ethylene Vinyl Acetate
How it was designed...
This model is entirely designed and approved by our team, at the foot of Mont Blanc.The starting point of our design is the external locking mechanism for precise and fast adjustment. Combined with a push-pin that unfolds and folds automatically. Then we designed a handle that allows multiple grips: along the tube for climbs and banking terrain, with the wrist-strap for efficient pushing and on the knob for descents.Then we use our best 7075-T6 aluminium for controlled weight
How to adjust your poles to the correct length?
Hold the poles with your arms bent at a right angle. To do this: -pull the bottom strand all the way out until the auto push-pin (metal button) locks - open the lever of the external blocker - slide the tube to the desired length - close the lever Never exceed the STOP line to avoid the risk of breaking the pole.
Directions for use
This hiking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself and distribute effort between arms and legs.To be on the safe side, check before you set off and at regular intervals that your baton is locked in place by simulating heavy bumps. If you notice that your pole tends to slide down, the locking mechanism turn ring needs adjusting. Open the lever and turn the knob a quarter to a half turn.Do not put on your backpack in case of a storm.
Care tips
Proper maintenance of your baton will ensure that it functions optimally and that it lasts longer.After use, if water has penetrated the stick, remove the strands and allow to dry. If necessary, clean the dust or mud with water or a dry brush. Once dry, you can reassemble the strands.We recommend that you do not attempt to oil or grease the mechanisms.
Why is the pole sold individually?
At Decathlon, we have decided to sell our hiking/trekking poles individually. First because of how they are used. Indeed, some people only want to use one pole. Also, if one of your poles breaks, this means you only have to buy one and not a complete pair.
