About this product
Stick Telescopic Non Slip – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
This is a walking stick rather than a trekking pole, and the difference is in the handle. A trekking pole has a straight grip you hold from the side, which suits driving yourself uphill and bracing on descents. This one has an L-shaped handle, so your hand rests over the top – the position you naturally want when the stick is carrying weight on level or gently sloping ground.
That makes it a different tool for a different walk. For a day on a forest trail, a long walk on the flat, or for anyone who wants steady support rather than climbing assistance, the L handle is more comfortable over hours and easier on the wrist. It is also the grip most people find intuitive without being taught.
It has four telescopic sections rather than the usual three, which means it collapses shorter for its height – useful for packing into a bag or suitcase. The shaft is aluminium alloy, light enough to carry without thinking about it but solid enough to lean on properly, and it does not corrode in coastal humidity. Shock absorption is built in, taking the edge off each step on hard ground.
It suits walking in the Usambaras and Udzungwas, forest and park trails, city and beach walking, and anyone who wants dependable support on uneven ground. For steep mountain work with a heavy pack, a straight-handled trekking pole used as a pair is the better choice, and we stock those too.
