as for traveling it does not matter if it's carbon or still ( US) will not let you board with it
Hi I finished the Camino yesterday. St Jean to Santiago and used my five year old pacer poles. Mine are alloy and I walked with someone two days ago with carbon. There was very little Wright difference. I am 5'1" just a bit shorter. I checked mine in attached to my pack and then bubble wrapped. My pacer poles were invaluable out here Carbon or alloy is a personal choice I think Carbon may snap more easily and just a fraction lighter. Whichever you choose they will support you well. I wouldn't use any other sort of pole.I want to try them. Looking at the website I see there is a choice of materials and packages, 2 or 3 sections, etc. Can someone who uses them advice me on what to order? I am short (5'2") and want to bring them on plane for Camino. Thanks for your help.
I am happy for you getting your Pacer Poles. I was so undecided and fretting before my CF in 2012 whether they would work for me, or I should spend the money or... ? I was playing Words with Friends and two words crossed each other- pacer across and poles, going down. I have really been so pleased with my poles.Thanks everyone. I just ordered 3 piece alloy pacer poles. Appreciate the advice!
35$ on Amazon? Why would they sell them at such a deep discount? Are you sure they are Pacer Poles and not another brand?View attachment 22196 I used pacemaker poles (cheap on amazon $35 and great )but just as important ....I used the tips shown in picture. A lot of people wore thru the regular tips fast, these lasted me the entire Camino . I also had my pack as carry on (Osprey 40 + 10) and put my poles and Swiss army knife in a small bag and checked those items. Have fun !
No my $35 poles are not called pacer....but pacemaker poles. But those worked great for me.35$ on Amazon? Why would they sell them at such a deep discount? Are you sure they are Pacer Poles and not another brand?
Sorry, I misread your post. I would have loved it if PP were available for that price.No my $35 poles are not called pacer....but pacemaker poles. But those worked great for me.
