EASY TO ADJUST A200 NATURE HIKING POLE

Poles are very popular with hikers because they have many virtues. Their usefulness responds mainly to three aspects:
- Safety to avoid the risk of falling and to gain balance
- In the pursuit of performance for those who wish to go faster and for longer
- Health for better posture and therefore back and joint relieve

When stationary, the forearm holding the stick should be perpendicular to the arm alongside the body.

Each user is able to choose the way they walk with hiking poles. Alternate or simultaneous approach, one or two poles, you are free to adapt so that it is as natural as possible.

We recommend that you put the tips of your poles far in front of you or to the sides so that you do not get your feet caught up in them when you walk.

It is important to take into account the gradient of the slope in order to adapt the use of your poles:

- Going uphill, you can take your grip slightly lower so as not to constantly change the adjustment of your pole.
- Going downhill, you can use the pommel and remove the wrist strap to avoid the risk of falling. The pole is supportive so avoid putting your full body weight on it.

Lengths are preset on the push-pin system to ensure quick and easy adjustment.

To use, press the button then slide the shaft to the correct length and wait for the clip to fit into the hole. Be careful not to go past the red stop line.

Before starting your hike, check that the push-pin is properly engaged so that the pole does not come loose.

The correct positioning of the hand in the strap is really important because it gives you better grip and maximum comfort. Whether you have a Velcro or clip strap, let yourself be guided by our advice.

Because the sound of repeated contact with the ground is annoying at times, you have the option of placing rubber tips on the tips of your poles. However, these only serve as an attenuator and cannot completely reduce noise from other parts of the pole.

There are many places on the hiking bags to carry your poles when you are not using them when hiking.

For this A200 pole and other poles with more than 3 shafts in general, use the attachment points on your backpack, such as the elastic loops, external pockets or compression straps to secure them.Remember to place them in a strategic place so that they do not get in your way when hiking.

Baskets are not required and you can do very well without them. However, they are very useful so that you don't get your point stuck in rocks and potentially break your pole. In addition, you can use slightly larger winter baskets so that you don't get stuck in the snow or even in sand.
