walking poles

Handheld trail support

Walking poles are handheld sticks used for balance and propulsion while hiking or walking.

They typically come in pairs, have ergonomic grips, and often feature adjustable telescoping shafts.

Unlike a walking stick or cane, walking poles engage the upper body and distribute effort across all four limbs: I brought my walking poles for the mountain trail.
