Walking poles

Staying upright on steep descents, crossing rivers with stability, pushing yourself up mountains: you can do it all with walking poles. Hiking poles are not just for ‘old people’ who do ‘Nordic walking’. They are for all hikers who take their treks and hiking comfort seriously. They provide balance, rhythm and stability, especially when carrying a heavy backpack or in the mountains. It’s often a case of finding out how best to use the poles without tripping over them or getting them caught in something. But once you’ve found your rhythm, they feel like an extension of your own body!
