Why are carbon poles good for trail running?

Premium quality, fixed length, T300 carbon. Our Helvellyn PRO is the perfect pole if you love your trail running kit to be ultra light and streamlined.

If you're still not sure check out our 'Which Poles Are Right For Me?' further down this page.

Why are Harrier poles half the price of other brands?

Our poles have all the same high quality features as the big brands. Including metal flip locks, carbide spike tips, soft fleece lined hand strap, integrated mud baskets, TPU coated inner wires, strong tension adjuster. Additionally included is a water resistant and protective carry case and durable rubber tech tip accessories.

We are an independent company who sells direct to customers, so unlike other brands who sell through third parties, we are able to pass savings of up to 50% directly to our customers.

How much do they weigh?

With an ultra lightweight and sleek pole design, each pole weighs up to 20% less than leading competitors.

Weights per pole 105cm: 138g, 110cm: 142g, 115cm: 146g, 120cm: 150g, 125cm: 154g, 130cm: 158g.

How small do they pack down?

When folded into Z position they measure from 35cm.

What accessories do I get with my poles?

For every set of poles you get - 2 poles with integrated mud baskets, a water resistant and protective carry case and a set of durable rubber tech tips for harder surfaces.

Can I use my trail running poles for hiking?

Yes! Fundamentally there is no difference between using Harrier poles for trail running or hiking. And let's face it, on an ultra run there is plenty of hiking! 

Which carbon is Harrier poles made from?

They are made from 100% carbon.

The handles are custom moulded, ultralight, smooth EVA with a slim, ergonomic design meaning they won't rub your hands like other brands.

How do you adjust and set the height?

For detailed info on set up and use check out our Pole Quick Start Guide. We also include a Quick Start Guide leaflet with every set of poles.

Our Helvellyn PRO poles come at a fixed height, with the range including 6 height options. In comparison, our Helvellyn poles come with an extension system which allows the height to be adjusted. The adjustable or fixed height relates to the length of the pole - all of our models are Z fold to pack away.

When you receive your poles, at home stand straight with your poles extended parallel to your legs. Your elbow needs to be slightly bigger then a 90 degree angle. That allows for a good arm swing when in use, also for use on hills. Check out this helpful video Poles For Beginners for more tips from Founder Kate who is a British Nordic Walking Qualified Instructor.

I'm a complete beginner, where do I start with using poles!?

We would recommend investing in a 1:1 or group session with British Nordic Walking. They have local instructors around the country for very reasonable prices for a lesson. Nordic walking provides all the fundamentals or great technique, which you can then apply to your trail running. We also have some great resources on our Pole Quick Start Guide page.

How do you store z-poles? 

There are lots of different ways of storing poles depending on which race vest you use.

Harrier race vests have 3 ways of holding poles; on the back horizontally across the bottom, held each side of your chest vertically at the front or horizontally on the side resting on your midsection. Depending on how you pack your vest, and how easy you want them to be able to access them will determine where you carry them.

We would recommend using your poles as much as possible on your training runs if you plan on using them for an event or race. Devise a strategy where you know where you will use them so that they're utilised to their full potential. Don't just carry them - use them.

What's the difference between z-fold, telescopic and Nordic walking poles?

All of our poles utilise the same Three-section Z-Folding design. As a result Harrier poles boast a 2 second, on the go extension system for smooth deployment and when not in use pack away neatly starting from 35cms. 

Telescopic poles cannot be packed away to such a short length.

Nordic walking poles cannot be packed down and are set in the extended position, a bit like a ski pole.

Is a loop or a glove strap best on trail running poles?

Harrier poles all have a fleece lined hand strap with durable outer layer. The fleece lining makes them extremely comfortable and fully adjustable.

This is a very simple model and easy for you to release your hand from the pole whenever needed. They're great for beginners and seasoned pros alike as a simple and streamlined design with no complicated glove mechanism.

Any other great tips for my trail running?

Yes! To complement our new pole range, Harrier have created an exclusive “Harrier Pole PRO: Learn How to Walk and Run with Poles” course. 

This learning resource includes 12 modules designed to support pole users getting started with the basics, right the way through to advanced running techniques. 

Featuring expert guidance from running coach and mountain leader, Dan Summers, and Harrier Founder and British Nordic Walking coach, Kate Parker. Access is included with every pole purchase.
