The story of its development....
Entirely designed and validated by us, at the foot of Mont Blanc.
This model is based on the A100 chassis, which we have "vitaminized" to make it mountain-ready!
It retains the push-pin adjustment and oversized tubes. On the other hand, it can be adjusted to a larger size (130 cm), has an adjustable hand strap for support, an extended foam handle for multi-position grip and a tungsten carbide tip for rock resistance.
How do you set your poles to the right length?
The forearm, holding the stick, should be perpendicular to the arm along the body.
To do this:
- pull the bottom strand all the way through until the bottom push-pin (metal knob) locks
- slide the middle tube until the top push-pin protrudes at the desired hole
- use the lines printed on the tubes to align the push-pins with the holes
Never go beyond the STOP line to avoid the risk of breaking the stick.
Directions for use
This trekking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself and distribute effort between your arms and legs.
For greater safety, before setting off and at regular intervals, check that your pole locks into place by simulating heavy pressure.
Do not put on your backpack in a thunderstorm.
Some users are sensitive to the whistling noise that can temporarily occur when the wind rushes through the adjustment holes.
Maintenance tips
Proper care of your stick will ensure optimum performance and a long service life.
After use, if water has penetrated the stick, dismantle the strands and allow to dry. Clean off any dust or mud with water or a soft brush. Once dry, you can reassemble the rods.
We recommend that you do not attempt to oil or grease the mechanisms.
Why is the stick sold individually?
At Decathlon, we've decided to sell our hiking/trekking poles individually. Firstly, for reasons of use. Some people only want to use one pole. Secondly, if one of your poles breaks, you only have to buy one pole rather than a whole pair.
Accessories for this model sold separately
The advantage of buying Forclaz hiking poles is that you can benefit from a wide choice of compatible accessories and spare parts. So you can enjoy them for as long as possible.
