hiking tools

These poles are great. I have used poles for years without the positive angle and my wrists would sometimes hurt after a long day on the trail. Not with these poles. The positive angle on the grip allows for a much more natural wrist position particularly when going down hill. The anti-shock can be turned off if you want as well. I always leave it on but it is nice to have the option. There is a bit of a learning curve to hiking with poles, but once you get the hang of it you'll always want them with you.
