With their anti-shock technology, the Nature Walking poles offer support and grip when walking and running. In addition, the included attachments for different surfaces offer a wide range of possible uses. The three-part telescopic pole with length, open/close and stop markings allows easy adjustment to body heights from 112 to 198 cm. However, care must be taken when extending the pole as it can be tricky to connect the poles. Even when extended, the product is very stable, even without locking holes. Only the lowest telescopic pull-out shows signs of insecurity when fully extended. Thanks to the aluminum material, the poles are light and comfortable to carry. With a weight of approx. 320 g per pole , they are ideal for longer distances. The supplied connecting pieces and the carrying bag make transportation easier. The ergonomically shaped handles are comfortable to hold. The product also has a size-adjustable wrist strap and a foam insert under the handle. Customers can currently choose between the colors blue, black and silver.
