Product Information

Tips can be hard spikes for digging into earth and sand, with carbide being more durable than steel, or rubber for grip on tarmac or stone - most poles can have a rubber tip fitted over the spike to convert them. The rubber tips will wear out, but replacements tend to be fairly easy to find. Some poles also some with an optional ' basket', which stops it sinking as much in very soft materials, especially snow or bogs. If your poles come with baskets, you normally remove them unless conditions warrant it. Walking poles are great tools for any type of terrain. They can help you to keep your balance while walking and can give you extra stability on loose ground. There are many different types of walking poles out there, but they all have similar features, including a comfortable handle, adjustable length, and a wrist strap. You’ve got a little carbide end down at the bottom and that’s going to allow for easy traction on trails or dirt. There is also a threaded portion on the tip that allows for use with different LEKI baskets. LEKI also offers a number of different baskets for anything from hiking to deep powder skiing. Those baskets are sold separately. These tips are sold in pairs for easy replacement for your pair of trekking poles. Easier to Replace: Factory steel/carbide tips can be replaced, but it’s kind of a pain in the butt. On the other hand, rubber tips slide on and pop off instantly. Despite your best efforts, these encounters are inevitable. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, you can try banging the hiking poles together or against the ground or a tree, which will help scare off the animal.

Materials: Poles can be made from wood, steel, aluminium, fibreglass or carbon fibre. Most basic ones are aluminium, which provides a good balance of weight, strength, durability and cost. Higher end poles are now available in carbon fibre and similar materials. These can be lighter (or stronger for a given weight), but tend to cost more, so are aimed at those doing more demanding activities. Baskets are accessories that are circular in shape and are attached to the top part of the hiking pole. These are used on muddy or snowy surfaces or soft surfaces to prevent your hiking pole from sinking too deep inside the earth. These are useful as they provide you additional stability by digging into the soil in instances where you would feel danger from slipping. Using the right tip, at the right time can make your hike so much more enjoyable.In the same way that you have different footwear for different activities, putting on or taking off tip protectors should be based on the particular type of activity you're doing and the terrain. In this post we'll take a look at each type of tip and why and when you would use it. Carbide TipsTrekking poles can make moving over uneven and rough terrain easier and provide support for your joints, especially your knees. To get the most out of your trekking poles you need to be familiar with the key features and accessories that are available. One such feature is the tips on the end of the poles. On the downside, rubber feet are not meant for extreme heat or cold temperatures due to their construction material. Also, they are good if you are a beginner and walk on normal gradient trails. However, avoid using them for high ascents and steep climbs in which the normal rubber tips fare better. Baskets

If you mainly want one for the looks and practicality or weight are not the main considerations, a wooden walking staff is a traditional favourite, from a shepherds crook to gentleman's cane. You will even find different styles of walking staffs from different parts of the country. That perfectly describes the standard cheap rubber trekking pole tip. They protect your pole tips, provide traction on hard surfaces, and protect the trail, but they don’t really stand out in one particular area.
