FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the anti-shock system?

The integrated anti-shock system helps to reduce the impact and vibration transmitted to your arms and joints, making longer hikes more comfortable and reducing fatigue.

How do I know the correct length to set my poles?

When holding the pole with the tip on the ground, your elbow should be bent at approximately a 90-degree angle. For ascents, you may want them slightly shorter, and for descents, slightly longer.

Can I replace the trekking baskets?

Yes, the Trekking Basket 2.0 is designed to be easily replaced by hand if it becomes worn or if you need to swap it for a different type of basket.

What terrain are these poles best suited for?

These poles are ideal for mountain hiking, scenic hiking, and general trekking on varied terrain, including rocky paths, gravel, and moderate inclines/declines, thanks to the DDS tip and trekking baskets.

Are these poles foldable for travel?

No, the Khumbu Lite AS Walking Poles feature a three-section telescopic design but are not foldable. They have a pack size of 68 cm.

How do I clean the Aergon grip?

You can wipe the Aergon grip with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What material are the poles made from?

The poles are constructed from Aluminium HTS 6.5, which is a heat-treated aluminum alloy known for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Poles won't stay at the set length

Ensure the Speed Lock Plus lever is fully closed and locked. Check for any obstructions in the adjustment mechanism and clean if necessary. If the issue persists, the tension on the lever may need adjustment.

Grip feels uncomfortable

Adjust the Soft Strap 2.0 for a more personalized fit. Ensure your hand is positioned correctly within the Aergon grip zone.

Tip slips on smooth surfaces

The DDS Tip is designed for varied terrains; for very slick surfaces, consider if appropriate footwear is being used. Ensure the tip is clean and free of mud.

Difficulty adjusting pole length

Check that the Speed Lock Plus lever is fully open. Ensure the telescopic tubes are clean and free of grit. Apply a small amount of water-resistant lubricant if necessary, but avoid over-lubrication.
