How to choose the Correct Trekking Pole
Trekking poles are essential hiking tools that help climbers safely and smoothly climb. Choosing trekking poles can be considered from the following aspects:
One is a good wrist strap. The wrist strap is preferably soft and has some elasticity. It can be easily adjusted to the required degree of firmness and is not easy to fall off.
The second is the appropriate handle. The size and shape of the handle should match your hand, whether it is wearing gloves or not wearing gloves.
The third is the material of the handle. The material of the handle is easy to grasp. A trekking pole with cork and foam handles is usually preferred for those who are prone to sweating or often on a rainy day, because these materials have better friction even when wet. The handle made of rubber material makes the time slippery, but it feels good. Handles made of plastic and wood are usually slippery, and the hand feel is not particularly good, but durable and strong.
The fourth is the length. The trekking poles are adjustable in length. The more you adjust, the more benefits you will bring. When going down the mountain, it should be longer; when going up the mountain, it should be shorter; when not in use, it can be contracted shorter and can be easily tied to your backpack.
