Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of walking poles?
Poles improve balance on uneven ground, take strain off the knees on descents, and help with rhythm and efficiency on long walks and climbs. They also give extra support when crossing streams or boggy ground.
What is the difference between adjustable and folding poles?
Adjustable (telescopic) poles extend and lock to your chosen length and are robust and versatile, while folding poles break down into shorter sections that pack down smaller for travel. Both have a place depending on your priorities.
What height should my poles be?
As a guide, set the pole so your elbow is at roughly 90 degrees when the tip is on the ground. Many walkers shorten poles slightly for climbs and lengthen them for descents. Adjustable poles make this easy.
Do I need one pole or two?
Two poles give the most balance and even support, while a single pole or staff can be enough for gentler walks. It comes down to terrain and personal preference.
