Adjusting the wrist strap (Fig. J-M)
The size of the wrist strap can be adjusted using the push button. To open
the locking mechanism, press the push button on the strap adjustment
system with your thumb (Fig. J).
The strap is now unlocked and can be adjusted to the correct fit. Pull the
open, bottom strap end to tighten the strap. Pull in the opposite direction
to loosen the strap (Fig. K).
Tighten the strap by holding the pole with one hand, and with the other
pull the upper loop to lock in the push button (Fig. L).
Adjust the size of the loop so it doesn’t cut when wrapping your hand
around the grip (Fig. M).

use a hydration belt or hydration pack).

Combo bracket for asphalt pad & basket
Use the combo bracket to store the asphalt pad and the trekking pole
basket. The asphalt pad is used on rocky and hard surfaces, and the
trekking pole basket for soft surfaces to prevent the trekking pole from sin-
king in. You may also remove the combo bracket. Pull the tab of the red
rubber ring to remove it from the bracket guide. The bracket may now be
removed from the pole. To attach the combo bracket place it on the pole,
wrap the rubber band once around the pole and reinsert in the guide on
the combo holder. When not using the asphalt pads or the trekking pole
basket for your current route you can attach/insert them in the basket
interchanging system holder.
