When you start hiking, trekking, and climbing, you may be comfortable doing it all without much more assistance than a branch here or there. However, once you get a trekking pole, you may be surprised with the ease of all hikes and the overall lifespan of the protective tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the tip you are using, trekking pole tips usually last between 35 to 45 miles; this measurement is based on the most common rubber tips. Carbide and extra-durable tips can last well over 80 miles, depending on your hiking surface.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people assume that these tips are supposed to last a lifetime; however, they are not, and learning which tips should last almost forever is important. Many tips around the world will be vastly different from the tips you can buy from your local enthusiast store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All good trekking poles have tips that can be replaced within a few minutes; usually, the tips screw in with a threaded tip. This allows you to replace a tip by simply unscrewing the last one and screwing a new one into the pole to ensure that you can hike with ease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are cheap hiking poles with permanent tips; these poles are meant to take advantage of inexperienced buyers. As the tips cannot be replaced, the pole reaches the end of its life once the tip has broken off or been worn through entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When buying your trekking pole, we recommend that you test it first, ensuring that the tip can be replaced by the most common tips around. Some manufacturers have their unique thread, limiting their buying options to tips they have made, usually costing more than generic brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned earlier, the type of hiking, trekking, or climbing you are doing will heavily affect the lifespan of your tip. Each surface you are walking across will have a different effect on your tips, with the weight you are putting down on the pole makes a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend that you look at each of these when choosing what types of tips you will be using. Each one will affect the overall health of your tips and the amount of assistance that the pole will provide to you as you are making your way through the wilds of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCan You Replace Trekking Pole Tips?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
