Longirod Trek hiking poles
I am having trouble with my Longirod Trek hiking poles. I tighten the extension locks as tight as I can, but they still loosen up after only an hour of use. Is there a trick to this that I need to know about? Is this a defect that is covered by my warranty?
Answered
In addition to FlickLock, look into poles with the SLS system. This type of extension has an expander/screw combination that you could lean on with your full body weight, and it's not going to go anywhere. I've been using poles with SLS for a few years now for both summer and winter hiking (my buddy took this picture of me while we were out last time) and I have had zero complaints.
