Are there instructions for the LT5 Trekking Poles?Updated 2 months ago

Yes! You can find our instructions below. 

  • Do not extend the middle or bottom pole section when hiking past the "STOP" label. This label should not be visible when hiking.
  • When the bottom section is set to where the "STOP" label is just out of visibility, you can then adjust the middle section to anywhere between 105cm - 130cm using the measurement guide markers on the middle section.
  • You can also adjust a pole to any height between 60cm and 105cm, to set up a tarp for example, but that will require eyeballing the height or measuring the height yourself to be precise.
  • Twist lock mechanisms that tighten by turning clockwise.
  • Always separate the pole sections, wipe them clean, and let them dry after use.
  • Keep the baskets installed when hiking in rocky terrain.
