FAQs
What is the maximum length of the trekking pole?
The Mountain Warehouse Storr Trekking Pole measures up to 135cm in length.
Can I use these poles for snowshoeing?
While they can offer stability, they are primarily designed for trekking. For deep snow, specialized snow baskets might be needed, which are not typically included.
How do I clean the EVA handle?
Wipe the EVA handle with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Is the Anti-Shock feature adjustable?
The Anti-Shock technology in this model is integrated and not typically user-adjustable. Its performance is designed to activate automatically upon impact.
What terrain are the included tips best suited for?
The mud basket is for soft ground, the rubber tip for hard surfaces like pavement, and the steel tip for better grip on rock or ice.
How do I adjust the pole length?
The pole features an adjustable locking mechanism on its sections. Loosen the lever, extend or retract the section to your desired length, and securely re-tighten the lever.
Troubleshooting
Pole sections feel loose or unstable
Ensure the locking mechanism on each section is fully engaged and tightened. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the lock.
Anti-Shock system feels too soft or ineffective
The Anti-Shock system is designed for impact reduction. On very firm, flat surfaces, its effect might be less noticeable. Ensure the pole is otherwise functioning correctly.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Gently pull the strap material to free up the adjustment buckle. Ensure no dirt or debris is hindering the movement.
Tips are difficult to change
Ensure the pole is clean and dry. Twist the tip firmly counter-clockwise to remove and clockwise to attach. If stuck, a gentle tap may help loosen it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Storr Trekking Pole is designed for straightforward use. Ensure the foldable sections are securely locked before each use. Adjust the strap length to fit your hand comfortably. The interchangeable tips (mud basket, rubber tip, steel tip) can be twisted or pulled off and replaced as needed to suit the terrain.
