Using these Trail Back Trekking Poles is easy. First, adjust the length of the poles using the FlickLock technology according to your height and the terrain you're on. Make sure the webbing straps are adjusted to fit your hands comfortably so you can hold the poles securely. When hiking, use the dual - density extended grips to change your hand positions and reduce fatigue. After use, clean the poles with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly. Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid using the poles on extremely hard or sharp surfaces to prevent damage. If you notice any parts are loose or damaged, have them repaired or replaced promptly.
