Trekking poles are one of those things that after you use them the once you probably won’t go back, not only do they give you extra balance on uneven terrain, they help you get into a good walking rhythm, reduce impact on your joints and make you look like an outdoor pro when you use them to point things out. The Micro Vario Carbon Strong Trekking Poles from Leki have a great strength to weight ratio thanks to the 100% carbon fibre and HTS 6.5 aluminium bottom section construction, they are well suited for taller users and ski/snowshoe touring use.
