The jury particularly commended the special Z-folding system that makes it possible to not only unfold the Z POLE trekking poles quickly and efficiently but also fold them very compactly for storage in a correspondingly small space. Made of aluminium, the trekking poles are equipped with stylishly-designed and extended handles, as well as special mechanisms that allow for individual adjustment to the required pole length. In addition, pleasant handling is ensured by an anti-shock system that absorbs impacts, thereby enhancing hiking comfort.
