The 3 Best Trekking Poles for Hiking
Walking poles can be controversial among walkers as some consider them helpful, while others deem them a nuisance. However, many people are now using them and enjoying their benefits. Research shows that using walking (or trekking) poles can be highly advantageous, particularly when embarking on a walking holiday, especially if your daily walks will be long, hilly, or both.
Utilizing walking poles can significantly decrease the accumulated stress on the feet, legs, knees, and back. This is accomplished by distributing the load evenly across the entire body, which is particularly beneficial when carrying a heavy backpack. Here are the best trekking poles for hiking in 2024!
