Gabel Ritmo Entry-Level Walking Poles, Fuchsia, 77-130 cm

Setting out on a forest trail or a gentle hill walk, these Gabel Ritmo poles give you that extra bit of confidence and rhythm. Built for recreational hikers and casual walkers, they offer a reliable three-section aluminium shaft with a quick and secure Fast Lock adjustment, so you can fine-tune the length from 77 to 130 cm in seconds. The fuchsia colour adds a bright touch to your gear, while the ergonomic foam grips and padded Top Click straps keep your hands comfortable over long distances. The carbide Vario Fit tips bite into dirt, rock, and gravel, and the included 50 mm trekking baskets stop the poles from sinking into soft ground. At just 230 g per pole, they feel light in the hand, making them a smart first choice for anyone getting into Nordic walking, day hiking, or just enjoying the outdoors with a bit more support.
