Most models are adjustable (highly recommended for use in the mountains). A good fit is essential for comfort and to avoid putting strain on your arms, neck, back and shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>correct length<\/strong> is determined when, on a flat surface, the elbows form a 90-degree angle when holding the poles. The length will change depending on the height of the individual, but <strong>as a guideline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>1.6m person<\/strong> you will need a cane of: <strong>110cms.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>1.7m person<\/strong> you will need a cane of: <strong>115-120cms<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>1.8m person<\/strong> you will need a cane of: <strong>125cms.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For advice, <strong>uphill<\/strong> it is recommended to shorten the pole by 5-10 centimetres; and <strong>downhill,<\/strong> lengthen it by 5-10 centimetres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Locking mechanisms for length adjustment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are mainly three mechanisms for adjusting the length of the poles: screw, clip or quick release, or by means of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>screw type<\/strong> were the first to appear. Until a few years ago, most of them were of this type. This type of cane has the advantage that the mechanism is more concealed as it is internal. On the downside, the threads often become loose over time and this is often the main reason for replacing them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"175\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sistema_rosca.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sistema_rosca.jpg 480w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sistema_rosca-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sistema_rosca-150x55.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Detail of a walking stick with a screw-type fastening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>clip-on or quick-release type<\/strong> They appeared later and are similar to the fasteners used on bicycle wheels or seat posts.

This mechanism was the last to appear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Folding of batons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It must be possible to pick up trekking poles.<\/strong>This is often not the case with ski poles and other poles. In addition, a <strong>quick and easy folding <\/strong>is a quality to take into account when we face a difficult stretch where we have to climb and we need to store them to keep our hands free. The poles that fold in sections, as well as being lighter, are very practical for travelling, when we want to store them in a rucksack. Some models can measure between 35-40cms in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of folding mechanisms: telescopic and folding (there is a third type of hybrid baton that combines the two mechanisms and then the fixed ones that do not fold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Telescopic:<\/strong> In this type of poles, generally with 3 sections or segments, each tube is inserted into a top tube. This type of poles are very resistant and have a wide range of height adjustment. A model of this type can oscillate between 60cms folded and around 1.35m at the limit. They are usually the cheapest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/forclazMH500.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/forclazMH500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/forclazMH500-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/forclazMH500-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/forclazMH500-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/track.effiliation.com\/servlet\/effi.redir?id_compteur=22909566&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alltricks.es%2FF-260472-batons-de-randonnee%2FP-1670099-baston_ajustable_senderismo_montana_forclaz_mh500_verde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forclaz MH500<\/a><\/strong> is a very economical model.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Foldable in sections:<\/strong> In this other type of pole, the segments are uncoupled in a similar way to tent poles.

These models are lighter than the telescopic ones and can be less than 40 cm long. They have the great disadvantage of not being able to vary in height.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-696x557.jpg 696w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-1068x854.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-525x420.jpg 525w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blackdiamondZ.jpg 1875w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/track.effiliation.com\/servlet\/effi.redir?id_compteur=22909566&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alltricks.es%2FF-260472-batons-de-randonnee%2FP-2237184-black_diamond_distance_carbon_z_hiking_poles_black_blue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hybrids <\/strong>(folding in sections with a telescopic section): for trekking and mountaineering they are the most recommended, as they allow the height of the pole to be adjusted.

It is an internal mechanism that cushions the impact against the ground and is particularly useful downhill. Uphill it is usually deactivated. As they incorporate an additional mechanism, they have the disadvantage of being a little heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing lightweight poles is extremely important, as apart from being easier to handle and less tiring for the arms, they will be lighter to carry on your back when not in use. <strong>Weight will depend on material and accessories.<\/strong> that they incorporate. For example, those with cushioning will weigh a little more than those without, and folding ones a little more than fixed-length ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manufacturing material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most batons are manufactured in <strong>aluminium<\/strong> (in different alloys) or <strong>carbon fibre<\/strong> (in different compositions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>aluminium poles<\/strong> are slightly heavier than carbon and although they are very resistant to breaking, they bend quite easily. They are cheaper than carbon but like everything else, it depends a lot on the type of alloy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>carbon fibre poles <\/strong>are lighter but also significantly more expensive. They are less resistant to breakage than aluminium ones but do not bend and transmit less vibrations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All trekking poles are nowadays manufactured with an ergonomic handle that ensures a good grip and a lot of comfort. The materials they are usually made of are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cork<\/strong>They resist perspiration well and have a pleasant feel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Foam:<\/strong> absorb moisture and transmit softness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rubber:<\/strong> They insulate well from the cold, but with heat, they can cause blisters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plastic:<\/strong> avoid this type of grip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some models have a handle extension which is very useful for when you are climbing steep terrain and the pole is too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dragoneras<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>dragonets are the straps into which the hands are inserted for the wrists.<\/strong>. They are used with the dual purpose of keeping the hand relaxed when we need to release the baton, and more importantly, to distribute the effort when we are propelling ourselves and relieve the strain on the hands. They are adjustable and are available in both higher and lower degrees of design. In some models, the straps are different for each hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rosettes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the plastic circles that are screwed over the tip and are used to prevent the baton from sinking into the mud, snow or stones. The large diameter ones are mainly used for snow because they are more successful in preventing the stick from sinking and fulfilling its function.
