    Design details

    What’s the background to its development?

    Fully designed at the Simond R&D Centre in the heart of the Chamonix Valley, this hiking pole has seen the integration of the cork handle which offers a clear comfort benefit, while the push-pin system has been reworked.
    Aiming for versatility and longevity, this pole can be repaired and successfully paired with the lower section of the MT500 SHOCKPROOF model (ref. 8642204)

    How to adjust the length of your poles quickly

    Pull the bottom section all the way out until the auto push-pin (metal button) locks into place
    - Open the lever of the external blocker and slide the tube to the desired length.
    Close the lever again and ensure you never go past the STOP line to avoid breaking the pole.

    What precautions should you take when using the poles?

    This hiking pole should allow you to efficiently maintain your balance on mountain paths.
    For your safety, check that your pole is locked in correctly before each outing. If you notice that your pole tends to slide down, the locking mechanism turn ring needs to be retightened. Open the lever and tighten the knob slightly before testing again.
    Please do not attach the poles to the outside of your bag in periods of storms or thunder.

  • Testing

    Test product

    We measure the stresses on the poles in the most demanding situations. Each model first passes laboratory tests that reproduce these stresses; (compression, bending, tightening, etc.). These tests are regularly repeated over the production chain.

    Agree by

    Our test engineer makes sure that each model also undergoes trials on tests out in the field. The durability and comfort of the poles are validated in particular by "test hikes" which can reach distances of more than 500 km in total.
