WHYRENTINGTREKKINGPOLES?
Trekking poles offer anumber ofpractical advantages:
They provide better balanceandfooting. On downhill hikes especially,they decrease the amount ofstresson your legs andjoints. On uphill climbs,poles transfersome ofyour weight to your shoulders,arms andback,which can reduceleg fatigueandadd thrust to your ascents. They make crossing streams,loose rocks andslippery surfaces such asiceandsnow patches easier andsafer. They help you establish awalking rhythm. They canpush backoverhanging vegetation from the trail andprobe soggy terrain for holes and boggy spots. Trekking poles aremost helpful to those with weak or damaged knees or ankles,particularly when going downhill,because the poles absorb some ofthe impact that your body would normally sustain. According to a1999study inThe Journal ofSports Medicine,trekking poles canreducecompressive force on the knees by upto 25%.This translates into literally tons ofweight that your body will not have to support during the course ofaregularhike. hiking sticks 1pair 3days 4days 5days
