Trekking Poles

The hiker's flagship accessory, the trekking pole is highly recommended as part of a regular practice of walking. Whatever the environment in which you indulge in your favorite sport, the trekking pole has many benefits for your body: It contributes to the reduction of muscle fatigue and the impacts of walking on your joints. It regulates your breathing and improves your posture. It reduces the risk of falling by increasing your stability. In addition, trekking poles have a practical function, allowing you to eliminate certain obstacles or even repel animals encountered along the way.

The choice of your walking and trekking poles depends on several factors: your walking frequency, the characteristics of the terrain you use, but also some technical constraints related to the different elements that make up your trekking poles. The pucks prevent your clubs from getting stuck in the natural elements. The points allow them to adhere to the surface on which you evolve. Hand straps help relieve your hands and arms. You can also choose between a single or multi-section, foldable or telescopic trekking pole depending on your storage and transport capacities.

For optimal comfort during your hiking practice, it is essential to choose the right size. We therefore advise you to go to the store, equipped with your hiking boots , and test the different models of trekking poles. Stand up straight and grab the stick, holding it perpendicular to the ground; your elbow should then form a 90° angle with the stick.
