Still Think Trekking Poles Are “Extra”? Here’s What You’re Missing.
Let’s talk about the thing most hikers ignore.
Trekking poles.
You’ve seen them. Maybe you’ve even scoffed:
“Looks like overkill.”
“I’m not climbing Everest.”
“My legs are strong—I don’t need that.”
Okay. But here’s what you’re actually saying:
“I like putting more pressure on my knees.”
“I enjoy slipping on loose gravel.”
“I prefer ending a hike sore and tired when I didn’t have to.”
Harsh? Maybe. But we’re done sugarcoating it:
If you hike, you need trekking poles.
Why?
🛡 They save your knees.
Even on mild descents, poles reduce impact on your joints by up to 25%.
⚖️ They improve balance.
River crossings. Mud. Snow. Slick leaves. A breeze with poles.
🔋 They help you hike farther with less fatigue.
It’s like getting a power assist for your legs.
🧰 They’re built with tools you didn’t know you needed.
Blade. Firestarter. Compass. Whistle.
Yes, really.
And here’s the kicker… they’re only $69.99.
That’s for a complete 2-pole set, with:
✔️ EVA foam grips

You’re not weak for using poles.
You’re wise.
And for $69.99?
