Choosing between 6061 or 7075 series poles
All FitAssist adjustable nordic walking pole shafts are made from aerospace aluminum alloy.
The 6061 series is an aluminum alloy containing magnesium and silicon; they provide a good strength to weight ratio and are excellent value for money.
The 7075 series are alloyed with zinc; they are hardened to a higher strength than 6061. FitAssist 7075 series poles are lighter for an equivalent strength rating but cost a little more!; you should consider the 7075 series if you will be using your poles for a extended periods of time.
