How to Choose a Trekking Pole With a Tungsten Steel Tip

Choosing the right trekking pole can help you enjoy your hike. It should be easy to handle and swing easily with your walking pace. Many hiking poles are shorter than normal to take advantage of the swinging motion of your arms. The lower portion of the trekking pole arm should be at a 90-degree angle when you hold your elbow at side.

A quality trekking pole will come with a metal tip to add traction. These are usually attached to the pole with a flexible material that allows the tip to bend up to 30 degrees without damaging the shaft. Some poles even have flexible tips that break away before the pole itself. This will allow you to easily replace them if needed.

Pole materials are also an important factor in choosing the right one. Carbon fiber poles are known to be durable, but are vulnerable to rocks and boulders. Many long-distance hikers use carbon fiber poles on all major mountain ranges and long trails. However, it is important to understand the limitations of each material and maintain them carefully. With proper care, you will be able to enjoy the use of your trekking pole for many years.
