Why Choose Trekking Poles? Key Technical Parameters
For an expert runner, these criteria determine the ability to maintain performance on technical climbs and fast descents without losing efficiency in training mileage.
- drop: distance between the grip and the tip; affects stride leverage and the transition on technical slopes.
- stack: tube length and axis spacing; defines maneuverability and torsional response in tight turns.
- damping: system for absorbing impacts at the tip or the assembly; reduces forearm fatigue on rock and ice.
- weight (per pair): weight per pair; influences the rate of arm rotation and the conservation of VO2max during ultratrail.
- tube stiffness: axial stiffness of the material (carbon vs aluminum); determines stability on descents and the dynamics of foot strikes on uneven terrain.
Frequently Asked Questions about Trekking Poles
What length should Trekking Poles have?
The length is adjusted to arm length and height to keep the elbow near 90 degrees at foot strike; 100–125 cm covers most trail profiles. On steep slopes, adjust slightly to avoid pronation and push more efficiently.
What material is best for Trekking Poles?
Carbon fiber offers a better weight-to-stiffness ratio and less fatigue on long runs; aluminum is more robust and economical, with greater impact tolerance. The choice depends on your running mileage and the terrain you usually run on.
