A reliable pair of trekking poles is a beautiful thing. They make uphill hikes seem less strenuous, ease pressure on your knees on the downhill, and are a beautifully multi-functional piece of gear. What’s more, a good pair from a sustainably-minded brand will also be repairable. That means you can invest in a quality pair, fix them if small parts or pieces like clips or sections break, and keep using them for years to come (compared to cheap poles that break and you’ll probably have to replace in a few seasons if you’re an avid hiker). So if you’re in the market for an ultralight pair of trekking poles you’re ready to love for the foreseeable future, try one of these on for size and hike happy.
