✓ Light metal shaft. It is made of 6061 aluminum. It feels light in your hand all day.
✓ Three parts, one pole. Slide it out long for the hill. Slide it in short for the car.
✓ Marks on the shaft. Set the same length each time. No guessing at the trailhead.
✓ Soft foam grip. Ribbed EVA foam fills your hand. Your grip stays put.
✓ A strap for your wrist. The nylon strap loops on your wrist. Let go for a sip. The pole stays with you.
You made the top. Now you have to get down. The path is steep and full of small rocks.
Each step, your legs shake a bit more. You grab at bushes. You watch every rock. You feel slow and a little scared.
Now you plant the pole. It bites the dirt. You lean on it and step. Then again. You walk down steady, and you are proud of the whole day.
✓ Flip locks you can work fast. Open the lock. Set the length. Snap it shut. Done in seconds.
✓ Do not go past STOP. A STOP MAX mark shows how far each part can slide out.
✓ Three tips for three grounds. Use the iron tip on hard dirt and rock. Add the mud basket in soft mud. Slip on the rubber cover for pavement.
✓ Short to pack. Long to hike. It folds to 62 cm to strap on a pack. It opens up to 135 cm.
