adjusting the pole length
Your hiking poles are height-adjustable from 67cm to 135cm and
should be adjusted according to your height and the type of use.
Walking on smooth surfaces (Fig. a/B)
Set the pole length so that the upper and lower arms form a 90°
angle. Ensure that both poles are adjusted to the same length.
Information regarding the length of the pole can be found on the central
and lower pole segments. If you want to set the pole length to 120cm, fix
both the central and lower pole segments so that the 120cm marking is
just visible above the upper pole segment.
