Trekking poles are a win for hiking, trail running (especially long distance) and adventure racing.
- Trekking poles reduce strain on knees, especially on steep downhills.
- They improve your power on uphills and, when used in a Nordic Walking manner, can improve your walking speed.
- They also help with balance on uneven terrain, providing a third leg for stability, which can also act as a pivot when stepping and jumping from rock to rock.
- Trekking poles are a blessing when crossing streams, to catch slips, test water depth and secure your balance and footing.
- In camp, they can be used as supports to create a shelter using a tarp. Some super lightweight tents require the use of trekking poles for setup.
