Experience comfort outdoors with Heritage 1.0! Setup in 5 seconds and with our anti-shock feature.

Story

 

 

 

 

• Heritage 1.0 implements five cores in the anti-shock device and absorbs all forces, from the slightest vibration to powerful forces.

• One-touch installation makes our product easy to use, allowing it to be set up and set off in just five seconds.

• The high portability that comes from compact size and light weight is also a huge plus. Bring it everywhere you’d like!

 

 

 

 

Regular trekking poles are a real hassle to use. They require multiple steps and processes to set up or set off, such as turning the lever to lock and unlock, followed by folding and unfolding the poles each time.

 

 

 

Heritage 1.0, on the other hand, will be ready in just five seconds thanks to its one-touch installation method. Simply open the flip lock and pull the pole to set up, or insert it to set off.

 

 

To set up, first pull the pole until each tier is fully extended, adjust the length as needed according to your height, and close the flip-lock safety device to lock. Once the tiers have been fixed in place, they will not collapse or slip off, even if you intentionally try to.

 

Choose Heritage 1.0, the reliable walking assistant for you, and enjoy hiking or various outdoor activities in stability!

 

 

Heritage 1.0 can be as small as 17 inches long when folded, with a weight of only less than 18 ounces.

 

 

 

Our trekking pole can be easily stored in a common 20-liter backpack, keeping your hands free. Avoid accidentally stabbing your hiking mate with the pole or risking losing the poles.

 

 

 

Heritage 1.0 is ground-breaking and innovative in that it is the first trekking pole ever to be equipped with the anti-shock function by applying five cores.

 

The existing trekking poles on the market implement only one core for absorbing heavy or strong shocks. Any slight impact will still directly transmit to the wrist, elbow, or shoulder and eventually cause physical fatigue during use.

 

 

 

Heritage 1.0 has an anti-shock system with four micro cores and one main core to absorb all intensities of shocks, from weak to strong. Freely walk, hike, or venture as much as you want in nature with our secure 5-layer protection.

 

 

 

The micro cores are triggered by the slightest impact of 150 g/mm and work to relieve fatigue in any direction. With each core located in four different directions, it immediately acts to absorb the shocks detected and evenly distribute the pressure on the ground.

 

 

 

The main core can withstand an impact of 800 g/mm or more, helping to maintain balance. Heritage 1.0 will protect the user’s body as it effectively detects and absorbs any amount of shock, from light vibrations to powerful forces.

 

 

 

We conducted a shock absorption test by working distance to confirm the anti-shock effect of our product. The result was astonishing, as other products only respond to 11 lbs, while Heritage 1.0 immediately detected and responded to the slightest shock as small as 1.3 lbs.

 

 

In addition, the anti-shock parts were designed to be located in the upper part of the trekking pole to minimize the sense of weight. This structure allows the pole to absorb any impact from the ground as well as the vibration from each tier, further reducing body fatigue.

 

 

Looking for everyday products? We also have poles for seniors and Nordic walking poles equipped with 5-core shock absorption functions. Check out the details in the Rewards and Add-Ons section!

 

 

The foldable trekking poles often collapse by accident due to loose locks, which is very dangerous for the users as it would cause them to lose balance. As a solution, Heritage 1.0 added a spring to the flip-lock in case the tiers do not lock in place tightly enough or release during use over time.

 

 

We’ve also added an automatic locking device for extra safety. Each tier of the pole has its own lock to prevent it from slipping down and fixes by simply opening or closing. Our product enhances portability and safety to another level, with no additional action required from users.

 

 

Heritage 1.0 is the newest product that was born from the marriage of innovative technology and premium materials.

 

We chose Duralumin 7001, which is an aluminum alloy materials used for building aircraft and jets, for its excellence in stiffness as well as resilience. It is light but sturdy, providing a satisfying user experience even when used for a long time.

 

 

Since Duralumin 7001 has a strength that exceeds 320 N, the German DIN 79016 standard, our product can withstand tough, powerful impacts with a long lifespan.

 

 

Every single detail of our product was meticulously calculated for better usage and safety.

 

In addition to aluminum alloy, we also applied shock-resistant PC (polycarbonate) to the anti-shock and automatic locking device of each tier, and applied composite glass to the flip-locks for increased durability.

 

 

Highly elastic and dense, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is the perfect material for the handle due to its rubber-like softness and flexibility. We’ve custom-designed the upper part of the Heritage 1.0 handle to provide and maintain a solid, stable grip for the user.

 

 

In addition, a soft and flexible weave strap was exclusively made for our product to maximize usability and protect wrists during use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trekking poles are not accessories but important necessities when hiking; however, traditional trekking poles were inconvenient to use or too bulky and long to fit inside the backpack.

The sharp tip often poked or stabbed the fellow hiker, and the folding poles—a solution for better portability—still required a complicated installation process. Previous anti-shock poles also failed to provide lasting comfort as users eventually experienced fatigue after long use.

Whiz was determined to create a ground-breaking trekking pole that features all of these essential functions, from high portability to easy installation and even excellent usability. Heritage 1.0 is now on the verge of completion after three full years of research and development, as well as many trials and errors. We’re now ready to unveil a brand new trekking pole that is compact and comfortable to use for all sizes and heights!
