hiking is a breeze now

By Shelly Palomaki Ranked #84 - Trekking Poles August 28, 2011

I love to hike, mostly shorter day hikes,( 8 to 10 miles avg) but I have some balance issues and get really sore knees, that make it hard for me on the decsent. These poles are amazing. They grip really well on rocks and steep trails so really fixed that balance problem. My Husband said I am much faster now. The first time I used them I was so surprised. I loved them on the really steep part of the hike coming down, they made it seem super easy and rocks seemed effortless as I used to sit down and crawl down rocks sometimes . They are very simple to adjust and I can carry them in my pack when I am not using them ( i have a small pack- 22 cu inches so they do stick out a bit but not a problem) For my knee problem I did not notice much of a difference, as most people do. So I guess my knee sorness is a little more of a problem for me..
