"These gave me plenty of reassurance tackling technical inclines and were fantastic for fatigued legs," said one tester. A truly quality piece of kit at an affordable price — especially compared with other products on the market which cost significantly more."
"The poles did really well. They didn't break, were light, and I like having the long grip. Poles are one of those things that should just be simple and work and I don't have to think about, and I didn't."
"I personally think they're really well-made, well manufactured products at a very affordable price point and I actually think the Helvellyn PRO are probably the best item of kit that they make and they definitely hold up to some of the more expensive brands."

Frequently asked questions
Size & Fit
Adjustable height poles for optimal streamlined design and superior lightweight.
The poles can be adjusted between 110cm and 125cm, which we would suggest is suitable for heights between approximately 5ft 3 and 6ft.
Stand with your elbow at 90 degrees with your running shoes on. Adjust your poles to be the correct height so they are parallel with your legs whilst maintaining this bend in the elbow.
Materials & Tech
High-performance T300 carbon. Stronger than standard carbon used by other brands.
Stainless steel parts prevent degradation and the chunky deployment button is easy on the hands.
The handles are custom moulded, ultralight, smooth EVA with a slim, ergonomic design, meaning they won't rub your hands like other brands.
Clean & Care
Wash when needed with warm water and mild soap, ensuring you remove mud from locks, baskets, and tips. Wipe with a cloth, air dry completely before reassembly to prevent corrosion, and avoid using oil on inner mechanisms, which can cause slipping.
Cleaning and Care Routine:
Post-Run Routine: Wipe down poles with a damp cloth to remove dirt, moisture, and dust.
Tips and Baskets: Clean around integrated mud baskets and check carbide tips, cleaning out any debris.
Drying (Crucial Step): Allow poles to air dry completely while disassembled. Trapped moisture leads to oxidation and stuck sections.
Avoid Damage: Never use acidic cleaners (like vinegar) or strong detergents, as this can cause corrosion.
Lubrication: Do not lubricate the inner locking mechanisms; this can cause them to fail.
Storage: Store in a dry area in a fully collapsed, but dry, condition.
