The PEGG Pro Poles are crafted from premium aircraft-grade aluminium — the same material trusted by professional mountaineers worldwide. This means they're incredibly lightweight yet rigid enough to handle the rocky, uneven terrain of the Drakensberg, Table Mountain, and beyond. The anodised finish resists corrosion from SA's coastal salt air and intense UV exposure. With proper care, these poles will outlast decades of adventures.

Absolutely. When collapsed, the PEGG Pro Poles compress to just 38cm — small enough to strap to the side of a day pack or tuck into a hiking backpack without taking up precious space. Whether you're tackling a quick Table Mountain summit or a multi-day Drakensberg trek, they pack down to nothing. Expand them to your ideal height in seconds, and you're ready to go.

They're purpose-built for SA trails. The reinforced aluminium shaft and shock-absorbing grip handle the rocky, root-strewn paths of the Drakensberg, the steep switchbacks of Table Mountain, and the technical terrain of the Garden Route with confidence. The rubberised tips grip loose scree and wet rock, while the ergonomic design reduces impact on your knees and ankles — essential on SA's challenging, uneven terrain.

Simple. After each hike, rinse the poles with fresh water to remove dirt and salt residue, then air dry. Store them in a cool, dry place — the included carry bag keeps them protected and ready for your next adventure. The anodised aluminium requires no special maintenance. With minimal care, your PEGG Pro Poles will be trail-ready for decades of SA adventures.

Yes, both included. The padded wrist straps distribute weight evenly and prevent fatigue on long climbs, while the rubberised tips provide superior grip on wet rock, loose scree, and muddy SA trail conditions. The tips are replaceable too, so when they eventually wear down after years of adventures, you can swap them out without replacing the entire pole.

The PEGG Pro Poles adjust from 65cm to 135cm, making them perfect for everyone from teenagers to tall adults. The intuitive twist-lock mechanism lets you dial in your exact height in seconds — no fiddling with clips or buttons. The ideal height is roughly elbow-level when standing naturally, which reduces strain on your shoulders and wrists during long hikes across the Winelands or Cederberg.
