Important Notes
Each package contains a pair of Trek-Z trekking poles, a set of interchangeable baskets, and a carrying bag for easy transport. While the poles are engineered for durability, avoid using them as ice axes or for technical climbing. Regular inspection of the flip locks and joints is recommended to ensure secure operation. Clean the cork grip with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed; avoid submerging the poles in water. The product is designed for hiking and trekking use and may not be suitable for ultralight racing or extreme mountaineering without additional support.
