What makes the X1 Trekking Poles different from other hiking/trekking poles?
Our X1 Trekking Poles feature a unique Clench Free Glove Grip design made from comfortable neoprene. Unlike traditional trekking poles that require constant clenching, our innovative design allows you to hold the poles securely with minimal effort, reducing finger, hand, and arm pain.
How does Clench Free Glove Grip technology work?
The Clench Free, Glove Grip technology is like a glove with no fingers that's connected directly to the pole. This allows for a secure hold on the pole without the need for excessive gripping, which eliminates pain and cramping in your fingers, hands, and arms.
How do I put on the Clench Free Glove Grip?
To use the Clench Free Glove Grip, hold the poles with the L and R labels facing you. Open the Velcro strap, slide your hand in like you're putting on a glove, then place your thumb into the thumb slot. Grab the pole firmly, tighten the strap around your wrist until secure, and repeat for the other hand.
Should there be slack and play in the Glove Grip even though it's snugly attached to my wrist?
Yes, there will be some slack and play no matter how snug the Glove Grip is tightened. Larger hands will sit higher up on the handle and smaller hands will sit lower on the handle with the pinky and/or ring finger sitting below the handle on the aluminum pole itself. This is normal and doesn't affect the performance of the poles.
Are the X1 Trekking Poles adjustable?
Yes, they are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the height to suit your individual needs. This ensures optimal comfort and support on any terrain.
What materials are the X1 Trekking Poles made from?
The poles are crafted from high quality, aircraft grade aluminum alloy 7075 for strength and lightweight performance. The handle is made from a cork composite which helps absorb sweat.
