FAQ – Hiking Poles

Which hiking poles are the best?

It depends on the use. For multi-day tours with heavy loads, we recommend sturdy aluminum telescopic poles. For trail running and ultra-light tours, carbon folding poles are the top choice – lighter, more compact, and quicker to deploy.

How long should hiking poles be?

Rule of thumb: Let your arm hang at your side, bend your forearm at a 90° angle – the pole tip should then touch the ground. For uphill sections, set them shorter; for downhill, longer. For heights between 165–180 cm, 110–125 cm is ideal.

Carbon or aluminum – which is better?

Carbon is lighter and absorbs vibrations better but is more sensitive to side impacts. Aluminum is more affordable and significantly more durable. For frequent tours in technical terrain: aluminum. For weight optimization and trail running: carbon.
