Some users do not want to make adjusting their poles morecomplicated than it needs to be. This system is simple, reliable, light andcheap. Why oversized tubes? Because this model is designed for walkers whoneed to be reassured about their reliability. Why a straight foam handle?Because our field tests have shown that comfort is better than with a plastichandle. ; How to adjust your poles to the correct length?: Hold the poles withyour arms bent at a right angle. To do this: \- pull the lower part until thelower push-pin locks; \- slide the tube from the middle until the upper push-pin reaches the desired hole; \- use the lines printed on the tubes to alignthe push-pin with the holes; Never go over the STOP line to avoid breaking thepole. ; 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 safeside, check before you set off and at regular intervals that your baton islocked in place by simulating heavy bumps. Don't put it on your backpack in astorm. Some users are sensitive to the whistling noise that can occur when thewind sweeps through the adjustment holes. ; Care tips: Proper maintenance ofyour 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 todry. 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 orgrease the mechanisms. ; Why is the pole sold individually?: At Decathlon, wehave decided to sell our hiking/trekking poles individually. First because ofhow they are used. Indeed, some people only want to use one pole. Also, if oneof your poles breaks, this means you only have to buy one and not a completepair.
