hiking poles

Handheld walking aids

Hiking poles are adjustable walking sticks used in pairs for stability and support on trails.

They reduce strain on knees during descents, help maintain balance on uneven terrain, and distribute effort across the upper body.

Most collapse or telescope for transport: I always pack my hiking poles for mountain trails.

Also called trekking poles.
