How it was designed...
Entirely designed and validated during the course of a one-year collaboration with 14 demanding users, composed of a well-selected mix of hiking customers and trekking ambassadors. From the drafting of the specifications to the prototype validation tests, including the choice of the colour.Thank you Serge, Evelyne, Olivier, Thomas, Perrine and all the others!
How did we achieve such a long lifespan?
Mainly through the choice of a rubber formulation that is highly resistant to abrasion and deformation.Our laboratory tests show 3 times less wear than the previous model (average abrasion at ambient and hot temperatures).To maximise the durability, we also opted for deep studs.This means that the tip has to be replaced less often.
Our other technical choices…
In addition to its durability, the rubber material of this tip has a superior grip coefficient on hard ground (road, stone, tree).We've also specifically designed V-shaped studs, based on our expertise in shoe soles, to provide good grip on soft ground (earth, mud).
To fit this cap on quechua and forclaz poles
Push the cap forcefully onto the tip, so the flexible material deforms to adapt to the tip. It is important to hit the ground hard 2 to 3 times to ensure its full insertion.The grip on the pole tip has been designed so that the cap does not get lost easily when walking. The grip is maximised on a clean tip but decreases if there is any dust or moisture on the tip.To remove it, pull it off with a twisting motion. This will make it much easier to remove.

The rubber is strong. I thought, they might come off after a few uses but found them very sturdy.
Does what it says
These look pricey compared to what's available from the amaz online retailer but they give better grip and last much much longer. Used on a 12 day portuguese camino hike on Decathlon carbon running poles walking on granite cobbles and tarmac. They have barely started to wear. My friend had some amaz ones and they wore through in 3 days. Had to give him the spare pair of caps I'd brought for me!!
