Built around the natural biomecanics of the wrist
The FloPole takes a unique approach by incorporating a neutral load-bearing strap, moving every ounce of force onto the pole's centerline instead of across your wrist.
The strap position makes all the difference
A standard grip forces the wrist into an uncomfortable angle outboard of the pole's centerline, which applies off-center forces to the wrist with every pole plant. The FloPole's neutral strap placement cradles the hand, keeping the wrist neutral and sending the force you exert directly down the centerline of the pole. This allows for more efficient transfer of energy, less fatigue, greater comfort, and happier wrists.
Three problems identified, then solved
Poor transmission of forces
The strap sits directly over the pole's centerline, so downward force travels straight through the shaft instead of straining the wrist.
awkward wrist angle
Because the hand doesn't need to hold the grip tightly, the wrist stays in its natural position during the entire pole plant and push-off.
injuriies and fatigue
No more descents and stream crossings where it feels like your wrists take a beating.
It sure is fun solving problems that seem so obvious.
Engineering a pole that becomes part of your body instead of a stick-with-straps has been an interesting challenge. We are happy to introduce the FloPole, knowing that it will enhance many a hike. Stay tuned for other versions, including Nordic and Downhill.
Proven in all conditions
From scree fields to stream crossings, the FloPole's grip keeps the wrist neutral no matter what's underfoot.
