Using these trekking poles is a breeze. First, adjust the length according to your height and the terrain you'll be on. You can do this quickly with the FlickLock® Pro mechanism. Just loosen it, set the length, and tighten it back up. When you're done with your hike, fold the poles into a compact size for easy storage in your backpack. As for the baskets, you can remove them if you're walking on hard surfaces or keep them on for soft ground like snow or mud. For maintenance, make sure to wipe the poles down after each use, especially if they've been in wet or dirty conditions. Keep the FlickLock® Pro mechanism clean and lubricated to ensure smooth operation. If you notice any damage to the poles, such as cracks in the carbon fiber or loose joints, stop using them and get them repaired or replaced. Also, when changing the tech tips, be careful not to force them too hard to avoid damaging the poles.
