Black diamond aluminum poles are $100-$175 and these are $25.... For most people’s uses, the little bit of extra weight is not noticeable nor makes a difference.

Seniors for one, like us just to balance and get a helping hand. Term canes are so old fashion...lolThundercloud wrote: ↑ Who's the target audience?

1. Stability when you are hiking difficult terrain, especially with a heavy multi-day pack these are crucial.Thundercloud wrote: ↑ I never understood hiking poles. What are they for? Are these for hiking with a heavy pack or something? Who's the target audience?

+1 to this. I feel that using poles also help increase my pacing because the load is now distributed to 4 limbs instead of just 2.xbr50 wrote: ↑ 1. Stability when you are hiking difficult terrain, especially with a heavy multi-day pack these are crucial.
2. Protect your knees going downhill, again especially a heavy pack... reduce stress on your knees by shifting the weight to your arms.
3. Going uphill you can also offload a little of the work from your legs by using your arms.
When I first started hiking in my early 20's I was cocky and never used poles on 3 day hikes with a heavy pack. Going downhill really puts a lot of impact stress on your knees. Now in my late 20's I have bad knees and poles are a life saver on hikes.

When you go hiking over hill land. I went hiking at Killarney and used a walking stick I found on the ground and by the end my knees were dead. These would have helped a ton.Thundercloud wrote: ↑ I never understood hiking poles. What are they for? Are these for hiking with a heavy pack or something? Who's the target audience?
