Adjusting the pole length
Your trekking 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 stick can be found on the central
and lower stick segments. What happens if you want to set the stick
length to 120cm? Fix both the central and lower stick segments so that
the 120cm marking is just visible above the upper stick segment.
