Compact. Lightweight. Built for Adventure.

The WALX® Xplorer poles are premium 3-section travel walking poles designed for people who want the freedom to walk anywhere — from walking holidays and hiking trails to Total Body Walking®, fitness walking, Nordic Walking, trekking, and everyday wellbeing.

Lightweight, portable, and incredibly versatile, the Xplorer folds down small enough to fit easily into suitcases, backpacks, and travel bags whilst still delivering the comfort, posture support, and walking performance WALX® is known for.

Whether you’re training for the Camino, exploring countryside trails, heading off on holiday, or simply wanting to walk further with greater confidence, the Xplorer is designed to move naturally with you.


The NEW WALX® Cork Ergo Grip™

At the heart of the Xplorer is the NEW WALX® Cork Ergo Grip™ handle — developed by the WALX Team to support more natural movement and all-day comfort.

Unlike traditional strapped poles, the ergonomic strap-free design mirrors the natural position of the hand and wrist whilst walking, helping reduce strain and allowing smoother arm swing and propulsion.

The handle is positioned:

  • 15° vertically from the shaft
  • 12° horizontally offset

This creates a more natural hand position whether you are walking for:

  • fitness
  • hiking
  • rehabilitation
  • wellbeing
  • trail walking
  • Total Body Walking®

No straps.
No clipping in and out.
No risk of remaining attached to the poles if you trip or stumble.

The design also makes it easier to use gloves, open gates, take photos, or simply free your hands when needed.


Perfect for Travel & Everyday Walking

The lightweight 3-part telescopic design collapses to less than 50cm, making the Xplorer ideal for:

  • Walking holidays
  • Hiking trips
  • Travel adventures
  • Weekend breaks
  • Campervan & motorhome travel
  • Everyday walking

Despite its compact size, the Xplorer remains strong, stable, and supportive for regular day-to-day use.

Each set includes:

  • Lightweight travel bag
  • Rubber paws for hard surfaces
  • Baskets for softer ground and trails

Helped improve confidence after surgery

I had a total hip replacement 4 months ago and asked if I could use my poles to help rehabilitation which I did after a few weeks! Really helped my confidence and stability and I just walked every day increasing time and distance very gradually.

Would certainly recommend them

I have used my new poles on a group walk and found them very good. They are particularly light and the paws don't slip like my other ones. I prefer the strapless handles as I seem to have a better connection to the poles. Would certainly recommend them.

The handle is so easy on the hands

I love the handles,  they are much better for me than my previous Nordic ones!

The handle is so easy on the hands and I could really move quickly! I really liked the stability.
