That's why I decided on Pacer Poles. I had never used any kind of poles before, so I wanted the easiest to use poles I could find. I love them!The learning curve was virtually nothing.
I have used Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork poles in my hiking up in the Sierras (California) and all on my recent Camino trek -- light-weight, sturdy, reliable friends for well over a thousand miles of hiking now!Hi.
I have an inflammatory arthritic condition (psoriatic) that has also affected my ankle joints. Apart from the pain there I have little foot power when walking and my foot is not flat. Even hitting a rock and having to twist my foot is painful,and it can be hard to push away from. So I am hoping to add strength lost through my ankles through trekking poles. But they might get the full 120 kilos on them if I lose my balance. Any suggestions for sturdy but not too heavy poles?
Thx
Copado.
Well, not quite. The body mechanics of Pacer Poles are substantially different.They all work the same way.
I must admit I haven't been able to detect much difference. Certainly the wrist action and grip are different to cope with the inflexibility of having a fixed angle grip rather than a strap, but the remainder of the body mechanics appear to me to be identical.Well, not quite. The body mechanics of Pacer Poles are substantially different.
This puzzles me. Can you explain what is different?And yes, the mechanics are different from regular poles.
