Trail poles: performance, comfort and lightness

Trail poles are indispensable allies for your mountain outings, trail running races or Nordic hikes. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a passionate amateur, choosing the right poles is essential to improve your performance, save energy and enjoy greater comfort on all types of terrain.

Why use trail poles?

Trail poles give you extra support on climbs, greater stability on descents and reduced impact on your joints, especially on technical terrain. Their lightness and efficiency make them an invaluable asset when it comes to managing your outings.

The different types of trail poles

• Foldable poles: Perfect for races and hikes where quick storage is required. These models, like those from Leki, are easy to store in a trail bag.
• Telescopic poles: Adjustable in size, these poles adapt to different types of terrain and practices. Their locking system guarantees optimum stability.
• Carbon poles: Ultra-light, ideal for those looking for a high-performance model with minimal weight.
• Aluminum poles: Sturdy and versatile, they offer excellent value for money, especially for technical terrain.

How to choose the right trail poles?

To find the best model for your needs, consider ..:

• Weight: choose a lightweight model, especially if you're a runner or trail runner. Carbon poles are often preferred for their lightness.
• The handle: A foam handle offers good comfort and an excellent grip, even in wet weather.
• Tip: A resistant carbide tip guarantees effective grip on rocky or slippery terrain.
• Size and system: Choose a fixed-size model for lighter weight, or a telescopic system for maximum adaptability.

The advantages of trail poles

• Uphill and downhill: Poles save your strength on ascents and ensure optimum stability on descents.
