Hikers Reassurance

By Ranked #81 - Snowshoes May 20, 2009

Never realized what a difference trekking poles would make until I tried them. Tested these out on the Ice Age Trail near the Northern Kettle Moraine in WI. Made it a worry-free hike going up and down the hills with a recent ankle injury. The foam grips are comfortable and the poles are light weight. They are collapsible for travel but have no-slip flick-locks to keep them in the extended position while you hike. Make sure to check the screw tension on the locks before hitting the trail, in case you need to loosen or tighten them up a bit to make them lock easily. (Small screwdriver works for this.) There are no springs in these, but the foam grips did pretty well at absorbing the shock. Great poles for the price.
