Lightweight, portable, and incredibly versatile, the Xplorer poles are ideal for walking holidays, challenge events, countryside walks, and everyday use. The telescopic 3-part design means they collapse small enough to fit easily into backpacks, travel bags, and suitcases whilst still providing the comfort, support, and performance expected from WALX® poles.
Designed Around Natural Movement
The NEW WALX® Cork Ergo Grip™ handle has been developed by the WALX Team to mirror the natural position of your hand whilst walking.
Unlike traditional strapped poles, the ergonomic strap-free design supports a more neutral wrist position, helping reduce strain and encourage smoother, more natural movement during walking and propulsion.
The handle sits vertically at 15° from the shaft and is offset by 12° to align more naturally with the hand and wrist during use. This helps create greater comfort whether you are walking for fitness, hiking in the hills, enjoying a walking holiday, or using poles for wellbeing and rehabilitation.
No straps.
No clipping in and out.
No risk of remaining attached to the poles if you trip or stumble.
The design also makes it easy to use the poles whilst wearing gloves and much easier to free your hands for gates, phones, drinks, or taking those all-important selfies.
“These are now my No 1 poles. Absolutely fantastic. I could not have climbed Kilimanjaro without them.”
