Why trekking poles?
Trekking poles are easy to use and provide a load of support for hikers, walkers and backpackers of all ages. Whether you're traversing flat surfaces or probing uncertain terrain, they can provide stability, take pressure off your body, and also help establish and maintain a steady pace and build speed. Trekking poles can help reduce impact over time and prolong your body's capabilities. For first time users, trekking poles may not be as intuitive as one might hope.
