Expert trekking poles reviews from awesome gear testers. We test the latest line-up of trekking poles in rigorous backcountry conditions.
Ten years ago hardly anyone used trekking poles. We used to be very suspicious of trekking poles as well. “Just another thing to carry.” “I like to have my hands free.” “They cost a lot of dough.” Now its rare to see someone on an overnight adventure without them and many day trippers use them as well.
Since starting this site, we have been able to conduct dozens of trekking pole reviews from online start-ups to big name retail brands. One thing we have learned in this business is that price doesn’t always equal quality.
