Hiking is done with adjustable poles, which provide support when climbing and prevent slipping when descending.
What are the special features of Nordic walking poles?
Nordic walking is always practised with two poles to promote propulsion. The gauntlets allow you to release and catch the poles without dropping them. Single-pole poles are lightweight and won't shrink during practice. They absorb vibrations, so your joints are spared. The tips of the poles grip the ground and propel you forward. Removable toe caps guarantee grip on hard ground.
