The cavities inside the handle reduce its weight by more than 30%.
Lock Security Skin Strap - the wrist strap is made of a strong and wear-resistant, but very thin nylon sling, the weave of the sling does not interfere with air circulation.
PA Safety System - locks for quick adjustment of the lanyard length, even when wearing gloves, when jerking upwards, which is most often the case when falling, the lock unlocks the lanyard so that it can extend freely, when jerking downwards, the lanyard retains its length.
Thermo Long - an extended foam coating, it is a soft, absorbent foam material, very lightweight, reduces sweating, insulates, absorbs vibrations, improves grip.
Trekking Basket - removable rings with a diameter of 50 mm, holes are made in the rings into which the tip of the second pole is inserted for transport in a folded form. The rings can be replaced with other rings, such as snow rings, without the need for additional tools.
Flex Tip Long (⌀ 9 mm, length 93 mm) - a durable tungsten carbide tip (hardness 9 on the Mohs scale) mounted in a flexible holder provides grip on almost any surface, especially hard surfaces (granite, limestone), and can be replaced independently if necessary.
