Hiking Pole – Shut It in a Backpack, Open It With One Press

An alloy steel pole that telescopes out in a single spring-driven movement. Closed, it drops into a rucksack or a car door pocket; open, it gives you a firm third point on loose or uneven ground. The handle is textured, so wet weather does not cost you your grip.

Why choose this hiking pole?

A fixed-length pole earns its place on the trail and gets in the way everywhere else. Telescoping means it travels with you without taking over the bag. Spring release means it is ready in the time it takes to press a catch.

Single-press release: the spring mechanism runs it out to full length in one motion.
Alloy steel shaft: steady under weight and indifferent to mud, stone and grit.
Textured handle: shaped and grippy, so a wet hand still holds it properly.
Packs down short: fits a rucksack, a holdall or the door pocket of a car.
Two lengths: pick the one that matches your height and the ground you walk.

Out on the trail, closed in the bag, ready for either.

Hold it clear of yourself and anyone standing near when you release it, because the spring is quick. On a descent, plant the tip a little ahead of your leading foot for the steadiest support. Wipe the shaft after a muddy walk so the sections keep running smoothly.
