Pacer Walking Poles
I’ve never used walking poles before as I didn’t find them natural, however a trip to the Lakes last year I did briefly try a pair and whilst not instantly sold on the idea I did see benefits on ascents/decents and more so trying to cross streams. I cant see that Id ever use them on the flat, but time will tell.
The pair I tried were the Pacer Poles, which have a “revolutionary” handle which changes the way in which they support your wrist, I found these more comfortable than others Id held, although Ive not used any for any period of time, and Ive just taken delivery of a pair of the alloy variety, weighing in at 650g. The carbon version are a little more pricey and a little lighter.
Trying to make walking poles look 'sexy'. Not easy.
Hmm, very sexy! But joking aside it really does make a big difference if you have comfortable handles.
Some of the older makes were really uncomfortable to use.

Are they official product photos or did you take them yourself? Makes my Craghoppers walking poles look a bit drab!
Took those myself. Not the mostminterestimg of subject !
Haha, quality photos Dave. I think I’m going to think about buying something like this soon.
