Aluminum locks stay reliable in low temperatures, giving a snappy, secure feel in winter. If you are asking, “Are hiking poles worth it for knee support?” these poles help reduce knee stress and improve balance on rough terrain. Wondering “How do I choose the right trekking pole length?” the 110-135 cm range covers most hikers. Pair with camera mounts like VersaMount Lite or VersaMount Mini to capture the journey. Grab Orange Stick and go farther with confidence.
At Explore Gears, we’re so confident in the durability and reliability of our orange hiking pole that we’ve tested them ourselves on multiple alpine touring and mountaineering trips.
We’ve torture-tested them with snow baskets, tungsten steel tips, and shear strength of carbon tubes, and we’re proud to say that they’ve passed with flying colors. We’re so confident that we’ll cover any failure under normal use, so you can purchase with confidence.
We hope you’ll enjoy the Orange Stick trekking poles as much as we do. Shop with us today and experience the difference that high-quality trekking poles can make on your outdoor adventures.

I have to say that I was attracted by the enthusiasm of this team and chose this product. I have used it a few times and it is really a hiking stick worth buying. Well done boys!

Grabbed these right before a trip to Europe. They worked great on our hike up and down Gibraltar. Lightweight and easy to pack.
Jack.Z –
Good Poles! I really like it!
It’s lighter than any hiking pole! The only problem is that the lock needs to be tighter when cold weather. I would recommend it.
