[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1637426, member: 91402"] I use poles extensively for my hiking. My favourites are the spring loaded ones that compress a bit when I am pushing hard on them going up hill. They really save your legs and back when the hill climbs are steep and help keep your balance on the downslopes. I lengthen mine on the down hills, shorten them on the ups and collapse them and attach them to the pack in the really rocky stuff. Most places that sell them also have replaceable rubber "boots" for them and I always keep spares. I can't go far without them any more. [/QUOTE]
