G'day Beverly.

The Wmn's Trail Pro Shock Trekking Poles have Control Shock Technology - which gives progressive absorption and load dampening. The Women's Trekking Poles don't have shock control. The Trail Pro Poles also have a slightly different FlickLock mechanism for easy height adjustment.

G'day Sandra,

The 'shock' in some trekking poles is great for damping vibration and providing a bit of give if you happen to plant a pole particulary hard. I don't think I'd say they would perform dramatically different to a rigid pole in those specific situations. They do add a bit of weight to the pole as well. If you've always been happy with rigid walking poles I'd stick with what you know!

G'day Fiona,

The price is for the pair of Women's Trail Pro Shock Trekking poles.

G'day Francoise, 

I've had a chat to the supplier, and they've said they're going to need a few more details from you so they can figure out whether they can get a spare in for you. If you could email us at service@snowys.com.au with a few pics of your pole along with your contact information, then we'll be able to look into this for you Francoise.  

Yes you can Jennifer, we stock the Black Diamond Rubber Tech Tips which you can find here.
