Know the materials

A cane is something you lean on all day, so every material in Rise was chosen for a reason. Here's what goes into it, and why.

Aluminum shaft

The shaft is made from extruded aluminum, chosen for its strength at low weight. Its D-shaped profile keeps the cane slim while holding up to daily use. Each section is sandblasted and anodized, giving it a durable satin finish that resists scratches and wear.

Reinforced nylon core

Inside the handle, and at every connection point, is a core of glass-fiber reinforced nylon (PA66 with 30% glass fiber). This engineering-grade material is stiff, tough, and stable, so the parts that take the most load stay solid and secure.

Silicone grip

The handle core is overmolded in soft-touch silicone. It's comfortable in the hand, easy to keep clean, and forms one seamless surface with no gaps or seams to catch dirt. The curved handle places your hand directly over the shaft for natural support.

Rubber foot

The foot is made from EPDM rubber, a durable compound used for its grip and resistance to weather and wear. It's replaceable, so the cane can keep working long after the first foot wears down.

Hidden hardware

An internal elastic cord guides the sections together when you unfold Rise, and a hidden magnet holds it closed when folded. With no exposed hardware, it stays clean and compact in a bag or on a table.

Tested for confidence

Rise was independently tested to ISO 24415-1, the standard for walking-aid tip friction, and to EN 1985, the requirements for walking aids. That means the materials have been put through their paces before they reach your hand. Rise Cane is certified to carry a load up to 220lbs.
