Thread: Recommendations for hiking poles

@SeftonB to get the maximum from them learn the use the wrist straps properly. It's not insert hand through loop and have it over wrist. Bring hand upwards beside pole and then fingers through the loop. Before thumb goes through the loop rotate hand to horizontal and very lightly grip the strap and handle together. What it does is allow you to relax hand as the load from strap goes onto wrist. Most the better poles have an intentional twist in the strap so that it lies properly when you do this.
