Description and specs
These caps, which were co-designed with demanding hikers, are always there at
the tips of your poles so that you don't notice the repeated impacts on the
ground
#### How it was designed...
Entirely designed and validated during the course of a one-year collaboration
with 14 demanding users, composed of a well-selected mix of hiking customers
and trekking ambassadors. From the drafting of the specifications to the
prototype validation tests, including the choice of the colour.Thank you
Serge, Evelyne, Olivier, Thomas, Perrine and all the others!
#### Eco-design
We decided to work on the durability aspect mainly by choosing a rubber
formulation that is highly resistant to abrasion and deformation.Our
laboratory tests show 3 times less wear than the previous model (average
abrasion at ambient and hot temperatures).To maximise the durability, we also
opted for a deep knobby pattern.Consequently, the cap does not have to be
replaced as often, thereby reducing the environmental impact.
#### Our other technical choices…
In addition to its durability, the rubber material of this cap has a higher
grip coefficient on hard ground (road, stones, trees).We have also
specifically designed some V-shaped knobs to provide good grip on soft ground
(dirt, mud).
#### To fit this cap on Quechua and Forclaz poles
Push the cap forcefully onto the tip, so the flexible material deforms to
adapt to the tip. It is important to hit the ground hard 2 to 3 times to
ensure its full insertion.The grip on the pole tip has been designed so that
the cap does not get lost easily when walking. The grip is maximised on a
clean tip but decreases if there is any dust or moisture on the tip.To remove
it, pull it off with a twisting motion. This will make it much easier to
remove.
Cushioning grip durability: these caps will transform your pole tips so that
you can walk more comfortably on any type of hard ground (road stone root
etc.)
